Results from the infection assay. (a) Copper contamination increased host susceptibility to infection as indexed by the density-dependent transmission rate, β (0–200 μg Cu l−1, circles). However, maternal exposure did not further elevate host susceptibility (compare 95% CIs of 200 μg Cu l−1 and 200-multi-generational treatments, triangles). (b) Daphnia exposed to copper during the assay consumed fungal spores at a higher rate. (c) Spore consumption by Daphnia was highly correlated with transmission rate.
