Fecundity
upin N. nepalensis1
Poecilochirus carabi exposure increases fecundity in N. nepalensis.
“Brief physical exposure to mites alone was sufficient to trigger a plastic shift toward higher fecundity, even when mites are subsequently removed”

Trade-off between reproduction and longevity
mixedin N. nepalensis1
Poecilochirus carabi exposure is associated with trade-off between reproduction and longevity in N. nepalensis.
“Crucially, survival analysis revealed that mites unmasked a latent trade-off between reproduction and longevity.”
