Local, geographic and phylogenetic scales of coevolution in Drosophila-Parasitoid interactions.

Résumé

In this chapter, we describe the geographically widespread genetic fixation of traits involved in Drosophila–parasitoid immune interactions and the situations where such fixation is not observed. We then discuss how the three classes of coevolutionary dynamics that can occur at the local scale (coevolutionary escalation, coevolutionary alternation and coevolutionary polymorphism), the geographic mosaic of selection, and the phylogenetic constraints may explain such evolutionary patterns and drive diversification in the interactions. Most Drosophila parasitoid traits involved in virulence are host-species specific. Directional selection (coevolutionary escalation) on such traits can lead to their fixation or on the contrary maintain their polymorphism if these traits are associated with fitness costs. When hosts targeted by different host-specific virulence systems coexist, fluctuations in selective pressures on these systems, together with the ability of Drosophila parasitoids to select the most susceptible host for parasitization, can lead to coevolutionary alternation. Finally, we discuss the potential for parasitoid diversification in relation with the fact that most observed geographic situations, for different parasitoid clades, correspond to coevolutionary cold spots, due to fixation of virulence in parasitoid taxa.
