Population genomics reveals variable patterns of immune gene evolution in monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus)
Abstract
Humoral and cellular immune responses provide animals with major defences against harmful pathogens. While it is often assumed that immune genes undergo rapid diversifying selection, this assumption has not been tested in many species. Moreover, it is likely that different classes of immune genes experience different levels of evolutionary constraint, resulting in varying selection patterns. We examined the evolutionary patterns for a set of 91...
