Riassunto

This is a question-oriented volume with a solid organismal foundation that will help to bridge the gap between evolutionary ecologists and parasitologists. A range of experts have written chapters that review general concepts and provide a detailed survey of the parasites of a major group of hosts. The book concludes with extensive reviews of methods used to study bird parasites. It is a novel and valuable tool for anyone interested in understanding host-parasite interactions, particularly from an evolutionary perspective.

Recensione

impressive synthesis of recent advances ... This volume also serves as a guide to carrying out studies on host-parasite interactions. Some essential techniques are clearly explained. This excellent work will stimulate researchers in the fields of evolutionary biology, parasitology, community and population biology and conservation biology. (A.K. Lindholm, 1997 British Ecological Society Journal of Animal Ecology 66)
