Variable host responses mediate host preference in marine flatworm-snail symbioses.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2021

Lee Juhyung, Davidson Timothy M, Torchin Mark E

Abstract excerpt

Host preference of symbionts evolves from fitness trade-offs. However, it is often unclear how interspecific variations in host response traits influence this evolutionary process. Using the association between the polyclad flatworm Paraprostatum echinolittorinae and its intertidal snail hosts on the Pacific Coast of Panama, we assessed how a symbiont's host preference is associated with varying host defenses and...
