Title: Most known parasitic relationships involve parasites with nonlethal effects on t
Post by: arealhero on Nov 22, 2014
Most known parasitic relationships involve parasites with nonlethal effects on their hosts. The most likely explanation for this is that
a. parasitic tactics that have lethal effects are energetically expensive for the parasite.
b. parasitic tactics that have lethal effects are complex and require more time to evolve.
c. parasites are more likely to be successful when their hosts survive.
d. parasites that kill their hosts are less likely to be detected.
e. None of the above
