A large proportion of arthropod species are infected with endosymbionts, some of which selfishly alter host reproduction. The currently known forms of parasitic reproductive manipulations are male-killing, feminization, cytoplasmic incompatibility, parthenogenesis induction and distortion of sex allocation. While all of these phenomena represent ad...
Immunocompetence evolution can involve a "resistance is futile" scenario, if parasite encounter rates are so high that high investment in resistance only marginally delays infection. Here, we investigate two understudied aspects of "futility". First, immunocompetence is usefully categorized as reducing the rate of becoming infected (resistance) or...
