Differences in pyloric caeca morphology between Arctic charr Salvelinus alpinus ecotypes: adaptation to trophic specialization or parasite‐induced phenotypic modifications?
Gut‐tract morphology differed between benthivorous and zooplanktivorous Arctic charr Salvelinus alpinus caught in the littoral and pelagic zones of a sub‐Arctic lake. The differences were related to trophic niche and infection with the cestodes Cyathocephalus truncatus and Eubothrium salvelini . Mea...
