Strong dispersal in a parasitoid wasp overwhelms habitat fragmentation and host population dynamics.

Abstract excerpt

The population dynamics of a parasite depend on species traits, host dynamics and the environment. Those dynamics are reflected in the genetic structure of the population. Habitat fragmentation has a greater impact on parasites than on their hosts because resource distribution is increasingly fragmented for species at higher trophic levels. This could lead to either more or less genetic structure than the host,...
