Role of temperature and carbonate system variability on a host-parasite system: Implications for the gigantism hypothesis
Biological interactions and environmental constraints alter life-history traits, modifying organismal performances. Trematode parasites often impact their hosts by inducing parasitic castration, frequently correlated with increased body size in the host (i.e., gigantism hypothesis), which is postula...
