Effect of parasite load on developmental mode polymorphism in Pygospio elegans a preliminary test
In parasite-host interactions, hosts can respond to parasites by alteration of life history traits. Intraspecific larval developmental polymorphism in some polychaetes, termed poecilogony, might be a plastic response to parasite load. Poecilogony in the worm Pygospio elegans is linked to nutritional...
