Host specificity in phylogenetic and geographic space.

Trends in parasitology - 1 Aug 2011

Poulin Robert, Krasnov Boris R, Mouillot David

Abstract excerpt

The measurement of host specificity goes well beyond counting how many host species can successfully be used by a parasite. In particular, specificity can be assessed with respect to how closely related the host species are, or whether a parasite exploits the same or different hosts across its entire geographic range. Recent developments in the measurement of biodiversity offer a new set of analytical tools that...
