Predicting the emergence, spread and evolution of parasites within and among host
populations requires insight to both the spatial and temporal scales of adaptation, including …

We review studies that have used molecular markers to address ecological and
microevolutionary processes in parasites. Our goal is to highlight areas of research that may …

Parasites have evolved independently in numerous animal lineages, and they now make up
a considerable proportion of the biodiversity of life. Not only do they impact humans and …

John N. Thompson central problem in coevolutionary studies is to understand the ecological
and genetic conditions that permit interacting species to undergo repeated bouts of …

2.1 Background Exhaustive empirical surveys have shown that, almost without exception,
macroparasites (parasitic helminths and arthropods) are aggregated across their host …

In host-parasite coevolutionary arms races, parasites probably have an evolutionary
advantage. Parasite populations should be locally adapted, having higher mean fitness on …

Abstract According to the Red Queen hypothesis—which states that interactions among
species (such as hosts and parasites) lead to constant natural selection for adaptation and …

The “geographic mosaic” approach to understanding coevolution is predicated on the
existence of variable selection across the landscape of an interaction between species. A …

In theory, parasites can create time‐lagged, frequency‐dependent selection in their hosts,
resulting in oscillatory gene‐frequency dynamics in both the host and the parasite (the Red …

Species interactions commonly coevolve as complex geographic mosaics of populations
shaped by differences in local selection and gene flow. We use a haploid matching-alleles …
