Hosts and their symbionts are involved in intimate physiological and ecological interactions.
The impact of these interactions on the evolution of each partner depends on the time‐scale …

Aim To integrate ecological fitting, the oscillation hypothesis and the taxon pulse hypothesis
into a coherent null model for the evolution of complex host–parasite associations. Location …

For three decades, comparative phylogeography has conceptually and methodologically
relied on the concordance criterion for providing insights into the historical/biogeographic …

For most, the mere mention of lice forces an immediate hand to the head and recollection of
childhood experiences with nits, medicated shampoos, and traumatic haircuts. But for a …

Remote oceanic islands have long been recognized as natural models for the study of
evolutionary processes involved in diversification. Their remoteness provides opportunities …

Over the past 50,000 y, biotic extinctions and declines have left a legacy of vacant niches
and broken ecological interactions across global terrestrial ecosystems. Reconstructing the …

The long-distance movements made by humans through history are quickly erased by time
but can be reconstructed by studying the genetic make-up of organisms that travelled with …

Parasite success typically depends on a close relationship with one or more hosts; therefore,
attributes of parasitic infection have the potential to provide indirect details of host natural …

How geographically widespread biological communities assemble remains a major
question in ecology [1–4]. Do parallel population histories allow sustained interactions (such …

This volume sits at the cross-roads of a number of areas of scientific interest that, in the past,
have largely kept themselves separate-agriculture, forestry, population genetics, ecology …
