Population genetic analysis of the microsporidium <i>Ordospora colligata</i> reveals the role of natural selection and phylogeography on its extremely compact and reduced genome
AbstractThe determinants of variation in a species’ genome-wide nucleotide diversity include historical, environmental, and stochastic aspects. This diversity can inform us about the species’ past and present evolutionary dynamics. In parasites, the mode of transmission and the inter...

| Summary: | AbstractThe determinants of variation in a species’ genome-wide nucleotide diversity include historical, environmental, and stochastic aspects. This diversity can inform us about the species’ past and present evolutionary dynamics. In parasites, the mode of transmission and the interactions with the host might supersede the effects of these aspects in shaping parasite genomic diversity. We used genomic samples from 10 populations of the microsporidian parasite Ordospora colligataO. colligataDaphnia magnaO. colligataO. colligataD. magnaO. colligata |
