Exposure to parasites increases promiscuity in a freshwater snail [PDF]

Clonal diversity driven by parasitism in a freshwater snail [PDF]

Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2013
AbstractOne explanation for the widespread abundance of sexual reproduction is the advantage that genetically diverse sexual lineages have under strong pressure from virulent coevolving parasites. Such parasites are believed to track common asexual host genotypes, resulting in negative frequency‐dependent selection that counterbalances the population ...
