[KİTAP][B] Coevolution of life on hosts: integrating ecology and history
DH Clayton, SE Bush, KP Johnson - 2019 - degruyter.com
For most, the mere mention of lice forces an immediate hand to the head and recollection of
childhood experiences with nits, medicated shampoos, and traumatic haircuts. But for a …

Towards a more healthy conservation paradigm: integrating disease and molecular ecology to aid biological conservation†
Parasites, and the diseases they cause, are important from an ecological and evolutionary
perspective because they can negatively affect host fitness and can regulate host …

[HTML][HTML] The effects of inbreeding on disease susceptibility: Gyrodactylus turnbulli infection of guppies, Poecilia reticulata
Inbreeding can threaten population persistence by reducing disease resistance through the
accelerated loss of gene diversity (ie heterozygosity). Such inbreeding depression can affect …

Heterozygosity-based assortative mating in blue tits (Cyanistes caeruleus): implications for the evolution of mate choice
The general hypothesis of mate choice based on non-additive genetic traits suggests that
individuals would gain important benefits by choosing genetically dissimilar mates …

A hitchhikers guide to the Galápagos: co-phylogeography of Galápagos mockingbirds and their parasites
Background Parasites are evolutionary hitchhikers whose phylogenies often track the
evolutionary history of their hosts. Incongruence in the evolutionary history of closely …

Antagonistic coevolution with parasites maintains host genetic diversity: an experimental test
Genetic variation in natural populations is a prime prerequisite allowing populations to
respond to selection, but is under constant threat from forces that tend to reduce it, such as …

Biogeographical patterns and co-occurrence of pathogenic infection across island populations of Berthelot's pipit (Anthus berthelotii)
Pathogens can exert strong selective forces upon host populations. However, before we can
make any predictions about the consequences of pathogen-mediated selection, we first …

Does MHC heterozygosity influence microbiota form and function?
MHC molecules are essential for the adaptive immune response, and they are the most
polymorphic genetic loci in vertebrates. Extreme genetic variation at these loci is paradoxical …

MHC haplotype involvement in avian resistance to an ectoparasite
JP Owen, ME Delany, BA Mullens - Immunogenetics, 2008 - Springer
Research on immune function in evolutionary ecology has frequently focused on avian
ectoparasites (eg, mites and lice). However, host immunogenetics involved with bird …
