Evolution of Caenorhabditis elegans host defense under selection by the bacterial parasite Serratia marcescens
Parasites can impose strong selection on hosts. In response, some host populations have adapted via the evolution of defenses that prevent or impede infection by parasites. However, host populations have also evolved life history shifts that maximize host fitness despite infection. Outcrossing and s...
