Host-Parasite Evolution: General Principles and Avian Models

This question-oriented volume seeks 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 should be of use to anyone interested in understanding host-parasite interactions, particularly from an evolutionary perspective.
