Parasitoid (Parasitology 🧬)

A parasitoid is an organism that lives in close association with its host at the host's expense, eventually resulting in the death of the host. Parasitoidism is one of six major evolutionary strategies within parasitism, distinguished by the fatal prognosis for the host, which makes the strategy close to predation. Among parasitoids, strategies range from living...

The history of life on #Earth is often viewed through a strictly #Darwinian lens of competition—a relentless, zero-sum struggle where every organism fights for a larger slice of a finite resource pie. In this narrative, nature is, as Alfred, Lord Tennyson famously wrote, "red in tooth and claw," dominated by predation, #parasitism, and the survival of the fittest.
