Climate-driven variation in the intensity of a host-symbiont animal interaction along a broad elevation gradient.

Gradients of environmental stress may affect biotic interactions in unpredictable ways responding to climate variation, depending on the abiotic stress tolerance of interacting partners. Here, we study the effect of local climate on the intensity of feather mites in six mountain passerines along a 1...
