Host Density and Competency Determine the Effects of Host Diversity on Trematode Parasite Infection
Variation in host species composition can dramatically alter parasite transmission in natural communities. Whether diverse host communities dilute or amplify parasite transmission is thought to depend critically on species traits, particularly on how hosts affect each other’s densities, and their re...
