Does the early frog catch the worm? Disentangling potential drivers of a parasite age–intensity relationship in tadpoles
The manner in which parasite intensity and aggregation varies with host age can provide insights into parasite dynamics and help identify potential means of controlling infections in humans and wildlife. A significant challenge is to distinguish among competing mechanistic hypotheses for the relatio...
