Host adaptation during unprotected and protected coevolution
Evolution of host tolerance strategies against parasite infection.
(A) Colony-forming units (CFUs) of ancestral parasites per host across ancestral, unprotected coevolved, and protected coevolved backgrounds (n = 58). Error bars are SEM.
(B) Number of eggs per host across host backgrounds during infection with ancestral parasites (n = 52). Error bars are SEM.
C) Proportion of live hosts across host backgrounds during ancestral parasite infection (n = 51). Error bars are SEM.
(D) CFUs of protective bacteria per host across host backgrounds during ancestral parasite infection (n = 51). Error bars are SEM.
(E) Number of eggs from protected hosts across host backgrounds during ancestral parasite infection (n = 20). Error bars are SEM.
