A fundamental aspect of symbiotic relationships is host specificity, ranging from extreme
specialists associated with only a single host species to generalists associated with many …

Parasite dispersal can shape host–parasite interactions at both deep and shallow
timescales. One approach to understanding the effects of dispersal is to study parasite …

Phylosymbiosis refers to a congruent pattern between the similarity of microbiomes of
different species and the branching pattern of the host phylogeny. Phylosymbiosis has been …

Climate oscillations and episodic processes interact with evolution, ecology and
biogeography to determine the structure and complex mosaic that is the biosphere …

Parasite diversity accounts for most of the biodiversity on earth, and is shaped by many
processes (eg, cospeciation, host switching). To identify the effects of the processes that …

Comparisons of host and parasite phylogenies often show varying degrees of phylogenetic
congruence. However, few studies have rigorously explored the factors driving this variation …

Parasitism is a common symbiotic interaction across diverse natural systems. Using a
comparative evolutionary approach, we investigated the contributions of both host …

The evolution of obligate parasites is often interpreted in light of their hosts' evolutionary
history. An expanded approach is to examine the histories of multiple lineages of parasites …

Over the years, we have come to recognize that evolution is a dynamic process and a
fundamental organizing principle for exploring diversity and the biosphere. Basic knowledge …

As part of an inventory of the parasitic helminths of rodents, two species of the class
Oxyuroidea (Heteroxynema cucullatum Hall, 1916 and Rauschtineria eutamii (Tiner, 1948) …
