Larval size in acanthocephalan parasites: Influence of intraspecific competition and effects on intermediate host behavioural changes

BACKGROUND: Parasites often face a trade-off between exploitation of host resources and transmission probabilities to the next host. In helminths, larval growth, a major component of adult parasite fitness, is linked to exploitation of intermediate host resources and is influenced by the presence of...
