Immunity vs Sociality: Adaptive evolution tests suggest social lifestyle exerts greater selection pressures than host-pathogen coevolution in the bees

2021-09-08

Abstract excerpt

Hosts and their parasites and pathogens are locked in antagonistic co-evolution. The genetic consequence of this can be seen in the rates of adaptive evolution in immunologically important loci in many taxa. As the risk of disease transmission increases we might also expect to see greater rates of adaptive evolution on genes of immune function. The evolution of sociality and its elaborations in insects represent e...
