Copepod reaction to odor stimuli influenced by cestode infection [PDF]
Behavioral Ecology, 1998 The cestode Scktstocephahis solidus uses copepods as first and sticklebacks as second intermediate hosts. For transmission, an infected copepod has to be preyed upon by a stickleback. We used copepods of the species Macrocydops albidus to test whether infected and uninfected copepods differ in their reaction to two kind of simultaneously presented ...
