Discussion
- Males are assumed to differ from females by {p_Am} only
- This entry only considers stages in the final host
- Assumed accumulation time for GSI is 30 d
- mod_3: DNA linked to structure, RNA to reserve (since RNAm dominates); N quantified via n_NE and n_NV
- mod_3: Wwd data added
Facts
- Acanthocephalans do not have digestive tracts; parasitic in mammals, with insects as intermediary hosts (Ref: Wiki)
