Includes bibliographical references (p. 375-414) and indexes. - Two themes recur in this guide to a language with rich potential for evolutionary studies. One is the focus on the parasite rather than the more commonly studied host; the second is the use of modern phylogenetic and historical ecological analysis, showing the fruitfulness of such an approach. The aim is to evaluate myths and misconceptions about parasites and their evolution and to demonstrate that parasite-host systems are excellent models for evolutionary studies and for use as biodiversity probes.
