doi 10.1098/rspb.2000.1238 Experimental evidence of asymmetrical competition between two species of parasitic copepods
Lepeophtheirus thompsoni and Lepeophtheirus europaensis are two parasitic copepods naturally isolated on their sympatric hosts, i.e. turbot (Psetta maxima L.) and brill (Scophthalmus rhombus L.), respectively. They are able to meet, mate and hybridize on turbot experimentally, but they are naturally...
