Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Does the genotype specific competitive ability correlate with infection in natural Daphnia magna populations?
Answer: Our data do not support the inbreeding-infection hypothesis. They also do not support a cost of resistance, however ignoring other parasite strains or parasite species. We suggest as a possible explanation for our results that resistance genes might segregate largely independently of other fitness associated genes in this system.
Output (English): no
