Sex-specific effects of a parasite evolving in a female-biased host population
BACKGROUND: Males and females differ in many ways and might present different opportunities and challenges to their parasites. In the same way that parasites adapt to the most common host type, they may adapt to the characteristics of the host sex they encounter most often. To explore this hypothesi...
