Parasites rather than phoronts: Teratorhabditis synpapillata nematodes reduce lifespan of their Rhynchophorus ferrugineus host in a life stage‐dependent manner

Parasites rather than phoronts: Teratorhabditis synpapillata nematodes reduce lifespan of their Rhynchophorus ferrugineus host in a life stage‐dependent manner

Abstract Rhynchophorus ferrugineus Olivier (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) red palm weevils are often reported in association with different organisms including nematodes. The significance of this interaction and whether nematodes can influence their life‐history traits is unclear. We collected Rhynchop...
