Question 1

what does host parasite coevolution assume?

Answer 1

the presence of genetic variation for host resistance and parasite infectivity

Question 2

what was the host and the parasite in the study?

Answer 2

Daphnia magna

bacterial microparasite: P.ramosa

Question 3

what does the host parasite interaction indicate the coevolution is based on?

Answer 3

frequency dependent selection

Question 4

when was infection success greater?

Answer 4

host clone parasite isolate combinations isolate together rather than in the lab

Question 5

what did it show parasites can track?

Answer 5

specific host genotypes under natural conditions

Question 6

where was genetic variation found?

Answer 6

in D.magna susceptibility to parasite and P.ramosa infectivity to host

Question 7

what did they find selection favoured?

Answer 7

parasites that can infect common host clones

Question 8

what did the parasite likely go through?

Answer 8

genetic bottleneck
