Non-MHC immunity genes do not affect parasite load in European invasive populations of common raccoon
Abstract Understanding the evolutionary mechanisms behind invasion success enables predicting which alien species and populations are the most predisposed to become invasive. Parasites may mediate the success of biological invasions through their effect on host fitness. The evolution of increased co...
