Multi-clone infections and the impact of intraspecific competition on trematode colonies with a division of labour.

Parasitology - 1 Feb 2014

Lloyd Melanie M, Poulin Robert

Abstract excerpt

A division of labour occurs in colonies of the trematode Philophthalmus sp. within their first intermediate hosts. Two castes exist: one which reproduces and one which does not reproduce. It has been hypothesized that the benefit of the non-reproductive caste is in competitive interactions. Evidence for this from past experiments with Philophthalmus sp. colonies has been contradictory: the non-reproductive caste...
