Abstract
►A parasitic pea crab detects its host species using olfactory cues. ►The crabs are more attracted by the host where the entire life cycle is fulfilled. ►This differential attraction is lost if crabs are coming from the secondary host. ►Such differences may explain the known asymmetric exploitation of these two hosts.
