Abstract excerpt
The long-term fidelity of pinniped hosts to their natal rookery site suggests the genetic architecture of their Uncinaria spp. hookworms should be strongly structured by host breeding biology. However, historical events affecting host populations may also shape parasite genetic structure. Sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase 1 (COI) gene of 86 Uncinaria lucasi individuals were obtained to assess...
