An evolutionary trade-off between parasite virulence and dispersal at experimental invasion fronts
2020-01-31
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Eco-evolutionary processes may play an important role in the spatial spread of infectious disease. Current theory predicts more exploitative parasites to evolve in highly connected populations or at the front of spreading epidemics. However, many parasites rely on host dispersal to reach new populations. This may lead to conflict between local transmission and global spread, possibly counteracti...
