| predation on transmission stages reduces parasitism: sea anemones consume transmission stages of a barnacle parasite. | while parasites serve as prey, it is unclear how the spatial distribution of parasite predators provides transmission control and influences patterns of parasitism. because many of its organisms are sessile, the rocky intertidal zone is a valuable but little used system to understand spatial patterns of parasitism and elucidate the underlying mechanisms driving these patterns. sea anemones and barnacles are important space competitors in the rocky intertidal zone along the pacific coast of north ... | 2017 | 28270243 |
