Experimental evidence of asymmetrical competition between two species of parasitic copepods
#Lepeophteirus thompsoni$ and #Lepophtheirus 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 nat...
