The “plump” phenotype is dependent on direct host contact. a experimental design, Sl = S. lycopersicum, Tv = T. versicolor, NC = negative control; b box plot of area:perimeter ratios for all parasites in the experiment; c & d example Triphysaria images from pot SlTv (parasite + host) and Tv (parasite only) showing the “plump” phenotype that parasites display when grown with S. lycopersicum hosts. ANOVA (Tukey-Kramer correction) *p < 0.001
