This project investigates how sexual selection affects the evolution of disease resistance in amphibians, particularly poison frogs, in response to the chytridiomycosis pathogen. It examines mate choice influenced by genetic factors and predicts the conditions under which sexual selection can enhance resistance to infe…
Sexual selection (SS) is a strong evolutionary force that can promote or inhibit adaptation to environmental challenges.
When populations face novel pathogens, SS can influence their persistence by impacting the spread of resistance alleles.
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) encodes proteins that recognize pathogens.
Many vertebrates preferentially mate with partners carrying beneficial MHC alleles, conferring higher resistance to the offspring.Here, I propose to study the role of SS in…
