Association between host's genetic diversity and parasite burden in damselflies
Abstract
Recent research indicates that low genetic variation in individuals can increase susceptibility to parasite infection, yet evidence from natural invertebrate populations remains scarce. Here, we studied the relationship between genetic heterozygosity, measured as AFLP‐based inbreeding coefficient f AFLP , and gregarine parasite burden from eleven damselfly, C alopteryx splendens, populations. We found that in the studied populations, 5–92% of...
