Estimating Genetic and Maternal Effects Determining Variation in Immune Function of a Mixed-Mating Snail

Evolution of host defenses such as immune function requires heritable genetic variation in them. However, also non-genetic maternal effects can contribute to phenotypic variation, thus being an alternative target for natural selection. We investigated the role of individuals’ genetic background and...
