Neofunctionalization of an ancient domain allows parasites to avoid intraspecific competition by manipulating host behaviour
Evolutionary arms races can drive adaptations in hosts and parasites as well as among competing parasites. A combination of multi-omics and functional tests identifies a set of genes that allow a parasitic wasp to minimize intraspecific competition by inducing hosts to escape before more wasps can p...
