Caudal Polymorphism and Cephalic Morphology among First-Stage Larvae of \u3ci\u3eParelaphostrongylus odocoilei\u3c/i\u3e (Protostrongylidae: Elaphostrongylinae) in Dall’s Sheep from the Mackenzie Mountains, Canada [PDF]
We demonstrate polymorphism in the structure of the tail among first-stage larvae of Parelaphostrongylus odocoilei (Protostrongylidae). Two distinct larvae, both with a characteristic dorsal spine, include (1) a morphotype with a kinked conical tail ...
