Selection for Plastic, Pathogen-Inducible Recombination in a Red Queen Model with Diploid Antagonists

Antagonistic interactions and co-evolution between a host and its parasite are known to cause oscillations in the population genetic structure of both species (Red Queen dynamics). Potentially, such oscillations may select for increased sex and recombination in the host, although theoretical models...
