On the origins of parasite-extended phenotypes.

Integrative and comparative biology - 1 Jul 2014

Hughes David P

Abstract excerpt

Parasites that adaptively manipulate the behavior of their host are among the most exciting adaptations that we can find in nature. The behavior of the host can become an extended phenotype of the parasites within animals such that the success and failure of the parasite's genome rely on precise change of the host's behavior. Evolutionary biology was borne from the close attention of naturalists such as Wallace...
