Abstract
Replying to: M. J. Wade et al. , 10.1038/nature08809 (2010) We previously showed how inclusive-fitness theory separates various components of selection on parasite virulence1. Wade 2 do not seem to dispute our results or make new predictions. Instead, they state that insufficient attention was given to multilevel-selection theory2. However, we pointed out the links to multi-level selection1, and we believe that a misunderstanding has arisen because they have fundamentally conflated selection and adaptation.
