How adaptive is parasite species diversity?

International journal for parasitology - 1 Jul 2007

Emelianov Igor

Abstract excerpt

Has species diversity in parasites evolved as a by-product of adaptive diversification driven by competition for limited resources? Or is it a result of gradual genetic drift in isolation? One can move closer to answering these questions by evaluating the ubiquity of host switching, the key stage of adaptive diversification. Studies dealing with evolutionary role of host switching suggest that this process is...
