Examining the role of parasites in limiting unidirectional gene flow between lake and river sticklebacks
Erin, Noémie; Benesh, Daniel P; Henrich, Tina; Samonte, Irene E; Jakobsen, Per Johan; Kalbe, Martin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)1. Parasites are important selective agents with the potential to limit gene flow between host populations by shaping local host immunocompetence. 2. We report on a contact zone between lake and river three‐spined sticklebacks ... -
Reciprocal cross infection of sticklebacks with the diphyllobothriidean cestode Schistocephalus solidus reveals consistent population differences in parasite growth and host resistance
Kalbe, Martin; Eizaguirre, Christophe; Scharsack, Jörn P; Jakobsen, Per J (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 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 ...
