- The first book to synthesize our current knowledge of the biogeography of host-parasite interactions, integrating the fields of host-parasite ecology and biogeography and incorporating the latest developments from each
- Uses examples from a variety of host-parasite associations in various regions, and across both ecological and evolutionary timescales
- Discusses practical applications for numerous fields including epidemiology, conservation biology, and health ecology
- Includes contributions from some of the leading researchers in the field
-
Biogeography has renewed its concepts and methods following important recent advances in phylogenetics, macroecology, and geographic information systems. In parallel, the evolutionary ecology of host-parasite interactions has attracted the interests of numerous studies dealing with life-history traits evolution, community ecology, and evolutionary epidemiology.
The Biogeography of Host-Parasite Interactions is the first book to integrate these two fields, using examples from a variety of host-parasite associations in various regions, and across both ecological and evolutionary timescales. Besides a strong theoretical component, there is a bias towards applications, specifically in the fields of historical biogeography,
palaeontology, phylogeography, landscape epidemiology, invasion biology, conservation biology, human evolution, and health ecology. A particular emphasis concerns emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases linked to global changes.Readership: This accessible text is intended for graduate students, professional researchers, and practitioners in the fields of evolutionary ecology, parasitology, biogeography, and conservation biology, as well as a broader audience from geography, epidemiology, and veterinary medicine.
