Virus Resistance Is Not Costly in a Marine Alga Evolving under Multiple Environmental Stressors

Viruses are important evolutionary drivers of host ecology and evolution. The marine picoplankton Ostreococcus tauri has three known resistance types that arise in response to infection with the Phycodnavirus OtV5: susceptible cells (S) that lyse following viral entry and replication; resistant cell...
