Genomic changes under rapid evolution: selection for parasitoid resistance.
In this study, we characterize changes in the genome during a swift evolutionary adaptation, by combining experimental selection with high-throughput sequencing. We imposed strong experimental selection on an ecologically relevant trait, parasitoid resistance in Drosophila melanogaster against Asobara tabida. Replicated selection lines rapidly evolved towards enhanced immunity. Larval survival ...
متن کاملParasitoid sex allocation affects co-evolution of patch selection and stability in host–parasitoid systems
Previously, we have show that the co-evolution of patch selection strategies of hosts and parasitoids in heterogeneous environments can lead to contrary habitat choices in which the hosts preferentially select patches that the parasitoids avoid. Since this work did not include the variable parasitoid sex ratios that have been found in field and laboratory systems with contrary choices, we exten...
متن کاملGenomic evolution in a virus under specific selection for host recognition.
Genetic variation in viral structural proteins is often explained by evolutionary escape of strong host defenses through processes such as immune evasion, host switching, and tissue tropism. An understanding of the mechanisms driving evolutionary change in virus surface proteins is key to designing effective intervention strategies to disease emergence. This study investigated the predictabilit...
متن کاملThe evolution of parasitoid fecundity: a paradigm under scrutiny.
An important assumption in insect parasitoid life-history theory is that, within parasitoid complexes (species assemblages associated with particular hosts), members attacking young host stages are more fecund than members targeting older ones. This hypothesis reflects the general trajectory of host survivorship curves: as a host cohort ages, availability to female parasitoids declines, as can ...
متن کاملRapid evolution in crop-weed hybrids under artificial selection for divergent life histories
When species hybridize, offspring typically exhibit reduced fitness and maladapted phenotypes. This situation has biosafety implications regarding the unintended spread of novel transgenes, and risk assessments of crop-wild hybrids often assume that poorly adapted hybrid progeny will not evolve adaptive phenotypes. We explored the evolutionary potential of early generation hybrids using nontran...
