Functional and Evolutionary Ecology of Fleas : A Model for Ecological Parasitology

Omtale

Fleas are one of the most fascinating taxa of ectoparasites. This book examines how functional, ecological and evolutionary patterns of host-parasite relationships are realized in this system. It extracts general principles that apply to other host-parasite systems, so it appeals to flea biologists and 'mainstream' parasitologists and ecologists.
