Dynamics of infection and immunity over 50 years as marine stickleback adapt to freshwater

2025-02-06

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> When a species colonizes a new environment, it may encounter new parasites to which its immune system is poorly adapted. After an initial spike in infection rates in the naïve founder population, the host may subsequently evolve increased immunity thereby reducing infection rates. Here, we present an example of this eco-evolutionary process, in a population of threespine stickleback ( Gasterost...
