Host range and local parasite adaptation.
Parasites may be expected to become locally adapted to their hosts. However, while many empirical studies have demonstrated local parasite adaptation, others have failed to demonstrate it, or have shown local parasite maladaptation. Researchers have suggested that gene flow can swamp local parasite-host dynamics and produce local adaptation only at certain geographical scales; others have argue...

متن کاملHost introductions and the geography of parasite taxonomic diversity
Aim Geographical variation in parasite diversity is examined among populations of fish in their original heartland and in areas where they have been introduced. The diversity in heartland and introduced populations is contrasted, and also compared with the expectations of a null model. Location Data on the parasite communities of two salmonid fish species were obtained: the rainbow trout Oncorh...
متن کاملGeography and Prevention for Local Communities
Alcohol availability, measured in terms of geographic density of alcoholsales outlets, is linked to specific patterns of alcoholrelated motor vehicle crashes in communities. To curb alcoholrelated problems such as violence, traffic crashes, and drinking and driving, community advocates often focus on reducing alcohol availability through modifications of zoning laws and licensing requirement...
متن کاملHost Sexual Dimorphism and Parasite Adaptation
In species with separate sexes, parasite prevalence and disease expression is often different between males and females. This effect has mainly been attributed to sex differences in host traits, such as immune response. Here, we make the case for how properties of the parasites themselves can also matter. Specifically, we suggest that differences between host sexes in many different traits, suc...
