Cost of resistance to trematodes in freshwater snail populations with low clonal diversity
Abstract Background The persistence of high genetic variability in natural populations garners considerable interest among ecologists and evolutionary biologists. One proposed hypothesis for the maintenance of high levels of genetic diversity relies on frequency-dependent selection imposed by parasi...
