The historical biogeography of co‐evolution: emerging infectious diseases are evolutionary accidents waiting to happen

2005-07-22

Abstract excerpt

Abstract Ecological fitting refers to interspecific associations characterized by ecologically specialized, yet phylogenetically conservative, resource utilization. During periods of biotic expansion, parasites and hosts may disperse from their areas of origin. In conjunction with ecological fitting, this sets the stage for host switching without evolving novel host utilization capabilities. This is the evolutiona...
