Abiotic environmental variation drives virulence evolution in a fish host–parasite geographic mosaic

2017-11-01

Abstract excerpt

Parasite virulence varies greatly. Theory predicts that this arises from parasites optimising a trade‐off between the mortality they inflict on current hosts, and their transmission to future hosts. The effect of the environment on this co‐evolution is rarely considered. Geographic mosaics are fertile systems for studying co‐evolution, but again, the diversity of outcomes is often assumed to result from co‐evoluti...
