Host specificity shapes population structure of pinworm parasites in Caribbean reptiles.
Molecular ecology - 1 Sept 2013
Falk Bryan G, Perkins Susan L
Abstract excerpt
Host specificity is one of the potential factors affecting parasite diversification because gene flow may be facilitated or constrained by the number of host species that a parasite can exploit. We test this hypothesis using a costructure approach, comparing two sympatric pinworm parasites that differ in host specificity - Parapharyngodon cubensis and Spauligodon anolis - on the Puerto Rican Bank and St. Croix in...
