Cost of parasite exposure depends on host ontogeny 寄生接觸的代價依賴於宿主發育階段
Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.The cost of parasite exposure varies across host developmental stages, demonstrating that ontogeny influences the expression of non‐consumptive effects (NCEs). Mite exposure resulted in consumptive effects in fly eggs and NCEs in early‐stage pupae; mite longevity was comparable when provisioned with pupae or water but increased when provisioned with ...
