Host-associated genetic differentiation in the face of ongoing gene flow: ecological speciation in a pathogenic parasite of freshwater fish

2024-01-28

Abstract excerpt

Adaptation to varying environments, leading to population divergence, is one of the key processes of natural selection. However, its effectiveness amidst ongoing gene flow remains controversial. Our study explores this phenomenon by focusing on a tapeworm parasite ( Ligula intestinalis ), which is capable of parasitising a wide spectrum of fish species, overcoming their immunological defence and having a highly p...
