Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes encode proteins involved in the recognition of parasite-derived antigens. Their extreme polymorphism is presumed to be driven by co-evolution with parasites. Host-parasite was also hypothesized optimize within-individual MHC diversity at intermediate level. Here, we use unique data on lifetime reproductive success (LRS) female collared flycatchers test whether LRS associated class II diversity. We examined association between and infection avian...
Insecticide-resistance threatens the control of mosquito-borne diseases like malaria or dengue fever. To ensure sustainable vector we need a full understanding factors driving evolution resistance. We test hypothesis that expression insecticide-resistance depends on available resources by rearing genetically DDT-resistant and sensitive larvae Anopheles mosquitoes at three diet regimes, which correspond to 40%, 70% 100% normal exposing adult females DDT 5, 10 15 days after emergence. In both...
Abstract Parasites may influence the outcome of interspecific competition between closely related host species through lower parasite virulence in with which they share longer evolutionary history. We tested this idea by comparing prevalence avian malaria ( H aemosporidia) lineages and their association survival pied collared flycatchers F icedula hypoleuca . albicollis ) breeding a recent contact zone on S wedish island Ö land. A nested PCR protocol amplifying haemosporidian fragments mt...
Life-history theory predicts that the trade-off between parasite defense and other costly traits such as reproduction may be most evident when resources are scarce. The strength of selection parasites inflict on their host therefore vary across environmental conditions. Collared flycatchers (Ficedula albicollis) breeding Swedish island Öland experience a seasonal decline in preferred food resource, which opens possibility to test life-history trade-offs We used nested-PCR quantitative-PCR...
Abstract Human‐induced climate change is expected to cause major biotic changes in species distributions and thereby including escalation of novel host‐parasite associations. Closely related host that come into secondary contact are especially likely exchange parasites pathogens. Both the Enemy Release Hypothesis (where invading hosts escape their original parasites) Novel Weapon bring new have detrimental effects on native hosts) predict local will be most experience a disadvantage....
An improved calculation method of inductance and capacitances in π1 circuits for resonant power amplifiers In the paper an circuit Class A, AB, B, C is presented. This based on assumption that quality factor inductor finite capacitors are lossless. The input parameters calculations amplifier load resistance, transistor inductor, loaded designed circuit, operating frequency. presented allows reducing required regulation range elements built as compared to traditional methods assuming lossless...
