Sex 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 sel...
