On Genetic Specificity in Symbiont-Mediated Host-Parasite Coevolution
Existing theory of host-parasite interactions has identified the genetic specificity of interaction as a key variable affecting the outcome of coevolution. The Matching Alleles (MA) and Gene For Gene (GFG) models have been extensively studied as the canonical examples of specific and non-specific interaction. The generality of these models has recently been challenged by uncovering real-world h...
متن کاملAdaptation, specificity and host-parasite coevolution in mites (Acari).
Parasitism by mites is widespread and involves all the classes of vertebrates, from fishes to mammals. Owing to their small size and their great plasticity, mites are able to adapt to a wide range of habitats. Most of the species are ectoparasites but endoparasitism, especially in the respiratory tract, is common in birds and mammals. The morphological modifications appearing during the process...
متن کاملSex differences in host defence interfere with parasite-mediated selection for outcrossing during host–parasite coevolution
The Red Queen hypothesis proposes that coevolving parasites select for outcrossing in the host. Outcrossing relies on males, which often show lower immune investment due to, for example, sexual selection. Here, we demonstrate that such sex differences in immunity interfere with parasite-mediated selection for outcrossing. Two independent coevolution experiments with Caenorhabditis elegans and i...
متن کاملHost-parasite coevolution-rapid reciprocal adaptation and its genetic basis.
Coevolution between hosts and their parasites (here defined in a road sense, including viruses, bacteria, fungi) provides fascinating xamples of evolutionary adaptation. Host–parasite coevolution is redicted to be dynamic and rapid, mainly because fitness costs aused by parasites are high, parasites are ubiquitous, and they ften evolve rapidly due to short generation times, large population ize...
متن کاملSignatures of host/symbiont genome coevolution in insect nutritional endosymbioses.
The role of symbiosis in bacterial symbiont genome evolution is well understood, yet the ways that symbiosis shapes host genomes or more particularly, host/symbiont genome coevolution in the holobiont is only now being revealed. Here, we identify three coevolutionary signatures that characterize holobiont genomes. The first signature, host/symbiont collaboration, arises when completion of essen...
