Morph-based resistance against Schistocephalus solidus in three-spined sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus) selected under different infection- and predation regimes
(The University of Bergen, 2013-06-07)The morphology of a host may have an effect on its resistance against parasites. Two geographically separated and morphologically divergent populations of three-spined sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus, Linnaeus, 1758) ...Master thesis -
Plate reduction in freshwater threespine sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus) - an adaptation to a different buoyancy regime?
(The University of Bergen, 2009-03-13)One of the striking differentiations freshwater threespine sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus) with a marine origin experiences, is a reduction in the numbers of lateral plates. This has been demonstrated to be caused ...Master thesis -
Reciprocal cross infection of sticklebacks with the diphyllobothriidean cestode Schistocephalus solidus reveals consistent population differences in parasite growth and host resistance
(BioMed Central Ltd., 2016-03-08)Background In host-parasite evolutionary arms races, parasites are generally expected to adapt more rapidly, due to their large population sizes and short generation times. There exist systems, though, where parasites ...Journal article
