Effects of endolithic parasitism on invasive and indigenous mussels in a variable physical environment.
Biotic stress may operate in concert with physical environmental conditions to limit or facilitate invasion processes while altering competitive interactions between invaders and native species. Here, we examine how endolithic parasitism of an invasive and an indigenous mussel species acts in synerg...
