背景情况:
- 多克隆性感染很常见,涉及诸如单个宿主内的寄生虫克隆之间的促进和竞争等相互作用.
- 评估共感染结果往往侧重于感染强度,忽视了关键的健康特征,如幼虫生长率.
研究的目的:
- 在单个和双克隆感染期间,研究Diplostomum pseudospathaceum克隆鱼 (Salvelinus malma) 的传染性和生长率.
- 为了确定寄生虫的特征是否与宿主大小不同,以及克隆间相互作用是否影响寄生虫的健康状况.
主要方法:
- 通过微卫星分析识别的Diplostomum pseudospathaceum不同克隆鱼的实验感染.
- 在单克隆和双克隆感染中,寄生虫感染率和幼虫生长率的比较.
- 从325只受感染的鱼中测量了3838只寄生虫幼虫.
主要成果:

Frequency-dependent Selection
21.9K
When the fitness of a trait is influenced by how common it is (i.e., its frequency) relative to different traits within a population, this is referred to as frequency-dependent selection. Frequency-dependent selection may occur between species or within a single species. This type of selection can either be positive—with more common phenotypes having higher fitness—or negative, with rarer phenotypes conferring increased fitness.

Epistasis
46.5K
In addition to multiple alleles at the same locus influencing traits, numerous genes or alleles at different locations may interact and influence phenotypes in a phenomenon called epistasis. For example, rabbit fur can be black or brown depending on whether the animal is homozygous dominant or heterozygous at a TYRP1 locus. However, if the rabbit is also homozygous recessive at a locus on the tyrosinase gene (TYR), it will have an unshaded coat that appears white, regardless of its TYRP1...
