Stronger population differentiation at infection-sensing than infection-clearing innate immune loci in songbirds: Different selective regimes for different defenses

Parasite-mediated selection is widespread at loci involved in immune defense, but different defenses may experience different selective regimes. For defenses involved in clearing infections, purifying selection favoring a single most efficacious allele likely predominates. However, for defenses invo...
