Abstract excerpt
The impact of parasitism on host populations will be modulated by both genetic variation for susceptibility, and phenotypically plastic-life-history traits that are altered to lessen the fitness consequences of infection. In this study we tested for life-history shifts in the crustacean Daphnia magna following exposure to the horizontally transmitted microsporidian, Glugoides intestinalis. In two separate...
