Not only do they impact humans and other animals in fundamental ways, but in recent years they have become a powerful model system for the study of ecology and evolution, with practical applications in disease prevention. Here, in a thoroughly revised and updated edition of his influential earlier work, Robert Poulin provides an evolutionary ecologist's view of the biology of parasites. He sets forth a comprehensive synthesis of parasite evolutionary 606 $aParasites 606 $aParasites - Ecology 606 $aParasites -- Ecology 606 $aParasites -- Evolution 606 $aParasites 608 $aElectronic books. 615 4$aParasites. 615 4$aParasites - Ecology. 615 4$aParasites -- Ecology. 615 4$aParasites -- Evolution. 615 4$aParasites. 676 $a577.857 676 $a591.7/857 700 $aPoulin$b Robert$0625545 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463161903321 996 $aEvolutionary ecology of parasites$91221154 997 $aUNINA
