Epidermal club cells do not protect fathead minnows against trematode cercariae: a test of the anti-parasite hypothesis

2009-12-01

Abstract excerpt

Epidermal club cells of fishes in the superorder ostariophysi have puzzled evolutionary biologists because they were historically linked to chemical alarm signalling and relied on group selectionist explanations. Alternative hypotheses to explain the existence of these cells include the possibility of an anti-pathogenic or anti-parasitic function. If this is so, individual fish should invest in increased numbers o...
