The aim of this review is to consider the potential benefits that females may gain from mating
more than once in a single reproductive cycle. The relationship between non-genetic and …

Co-evolution between host and pathogen is, in principle, a powerful determinant of the
biology and genetics of infection and disease. Yet co-evolution has proven difficult to …

In recent years, scientists have realized that evolution can occur on timescales much shorter
than the" long lapse of ages" emphasized by Darwin—in fact, evolutionary change is …

Parasites and infectious diseases are everywhere and represent some of the most potent
forces shaping the natural world. They affect almost every aspect imaginable in the life of …

Beim Studium der jüngeren Kontroversen über den Darwinismus fiel mir wiederholt auf, das
sie falsche Darstellungen enthielten, so als würde es sich um irgendetwas Umfassenderes …

This comprehensive, groundbreaking book on the biodiversity of parasites offers a clear and
accessible explanation of how parasite biodiversity provides insight into the history and …

Genetic studies have typically inferred the effects of human impact by documenting patterns
of genetic differentiation and levels of genetic diversity among potentially isolated …

REVIEW Most higher organisms reproduce sexually, despite the automatic reproductive
advantage experienced by asexual variants. This implies the operation of selective forces …

Antagonistic coevolution between hosts and parasites is believed to play a pivotal role in
host and parasite population dynamics, the evolutionary maintenance of sex and the …

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