Parasites as probes for biodiversity.

The Journal of parasitology - 1 Aug 1992

Gardner S L, Campbell M L

Abstract excerpt

Cestodes of the genus Linstowia, parasitic in marsupials, show patterns of coevolution and ancient historical-ecological connections. Correlated with the breakup of the austral landmasses (Gondwanaland) of the Neotropical and Australian regions from the Antarctic continent, the age of this host-parasite community is estimated to be between 60 and 70 million years old. Based on the data from the survey of...
