Body Condition Peaks at Intermediate Parasite Loads in the Common Bully Gobiomorphus cotidianus
Most ecologists and conservationists perceive parasitic infections as deleterious for the hosts. Their effects, however, depend on many factors including host body condition, parasite load and the life cycle of the parasite. More research into how multiple parasite taxa affect host body condition is...
