The Evolution of Host Specialization in an Insect Pathogen

2021-10-12

Abstract excerpt

Niche breadth coevolution between biotic partners underpins theories of diversity and co-existence and influences patterns of disease emergence and transmission in host-parasite systems. Despite these broad implications, we still do not fully understand how the breadth of parasites’ infectivity evolves, the nature of any associated costs, or the genetic basis of specialization. Here, we serially passage a granulos...
