Host tolerance and resistance to parasitic nest flies differs between two wild bird species

Host tolerance and resistance to parasitic nest flies differs between two wild bird species

Abstract Hosts have developed and evolved defense strategies to limit parasite damage. Hosts can reduce the damage that parasites cause by decreasing parasite fitness (resistance) or without affecting parasite fitness (tolerance). Because a parasite species can infect multiple host species, determin...
