Coevolving parasites and population size shape the evolution of mating behaviour

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Coevolution with parasites and population size are both expected to influence the evolution of mating rates. To gain insights into the interaction between these dual selective factors, we used populations from a coevolution experimen...
