A fundamental goal in infection biology is to understand the emergence of variation in pathogen virulence—here defined as the decrease in host fitness caused by a pathogen. To uncover the sources of s
Assembly statistics for AHE sequencing, and exon-based loci sequenced for each species. For each locus, 1 represents presence and 0 represents absence in the main data matrix.
Global warming appears to favour smaller-bodied organisms, but whether larger species are also more vulnerable to thermal extremes, as suggested for past mass-extinction events, is still an open quest
