Local Versus Allopatric Parasites: Acanthocephalans From Different Watersheds Are Associated With Different Infection Strategies in Definitive Host
Understanding how infection‐related traits vary across parasite populations and host stages is key to predicting host–parasite dynamics in complex life cycles. We tested whether the geographic origin of the acanthocephalan parasite Pomphorhynchus laevis influences infection success in both its intermediate (...
