Defensive tolerance to parasitism is correlated with sexual selection in swallows.

Oecologia - 1 Dec 2023

Soler Juan José, Møller Anders Pape

Abstract excerpt

Parasite-mediated sexual selection has been the topic of extensive research and enthusiastic debate for more than three decades. Here, we suggest that secondary sexual characters may not only signal parasite resistance but also defensive tolerance. We exemplify this possibility by analysing information on two sexually selected traits, annual reproductive success, and ectoparasitism in a barn swallow Hirundo...
