Lipids as currency in parasitoid competition: Interactions between two lipid-scavenging species Lipid scavengers are organisms that rely on exogenous lipid acquisition as they lack the ability to synthesize fatty acids de novo or in sufficient qu…

Excited about this new paper studying competition between lipid-scavenging #parasitoids sharing the same host. The later-arriving species shifts to #hyperparasitism to ensure sufficient resources. Don't miss the amazing photos!
