Water fleas of the genus Daphnia have been a model system for hundreds of years and is
among the best studied ecological model organisms to date. Daphnia are planktonic …

Balancing selection is an evolutionary process that maintains genetic polymorphisms at
selected loci and strongly reduces the likelihood of allele fixation. When allelic …

Dominance is usually considered a constant value that describes the relative difference in
fitness or phenotype between heterozygotes and the average of homozygotes at a focal …

The dynamics of extinction and (re) colonization in habitat patches are characterizing
features of dynamic metapopulations, causing them to evolve differently than large, stable …

Specific interactions of host and parasite genotypes can lead to balancing selection,
maintaining genetic diversity within populations. In order to understand the drivers of such …

Parasitoids introduce various virulence factors when parasitism occurs, and some taxa
generate teratocytes to manipulate the host immune system and metabolic homeostasis for …

Understanding the genomic basis of infectious disease is a fundamental objective in co-
evolutionary theory with relevance to healthcare, agriculture, and epidemiology. Models of …

A concomitant effect of a hydraulic fracturing experimenting is frequently fluid permeation
into the rock matrix, with the injected fluid permeating through the porous rock matrix (leak …

Daphnia are well-established ecological and evolutionary models, and the interaction
between D. magna and its microparasites is widely considered a paragon of the host …

Host‐parasite coevolution is ubiquitous, shaping genetic and phenotypic diversity and the
evolutionary trajectory of interacting species. With the advances of high throughput …
