Abstract:Co-infections are frequent, with consequences for parasite life-history traits expressed at within- and between-host levels. However, little is known about whether the effect of interspecific competitors on traits are correlated or independent or if they change with intraspecific competition. To address this, we investigated the occurrence of genetic correlations among within- and betweenhost traits at different intra-specific densities of inbred lines of the spider mite,Tetranychus urticaewith its competitorT… Show more
