Genetic infrapopulation sizes in blood parasites: a pilot quantification of the bottleneck in louse fly vectors
IntroductionBottleneck events are crucial for the strength of genetic drift, selection and speed of evolution. They are believed to play a particularly prominent role for parasitic infrapopulations, inhabiting single host individuals, which are often established by very few parasite individuals duri...
