Reciprocal specialization in multihost malaria parasite communities of birds: a temperate-tropical comparison.

Abstract excerpt

How specialization of consumers with respect to resources varies with respect to latitude is poorly understood. Coexistence of many species in the tropics might be possible only if specialization also increases. Alternatively, lower average abundance of more diverse biotic resources in the tropics might force consumers to become more generalized foragers. We examine levels of reciprocal specialization in an...
