Host-parasite evolution: general principles and avian models.
TL;DR: edited by D.H. Clayton and J. Moore, Oxford University Press, 1997.

TL;DR: It is shown that lice in the Brueelia-complex, with some notable exceptions, are extremely host specific and that the host family associations and geographic distributions of these lice are significantly correlated with the understanding of their phylogenetic history.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multi-host parasite species in cophylogenetic studies.
TL;DR: This work discusses situations such as cryptic parasite species, recent host switching or failure to speciate that may generate multi-host parasites and suggests methods to identify which of the mechanisms have led to multi- host parasitism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic evidence for three species of rockhopper penguins, Eudyptes chrysocome
TL;DR: The genetic distances between three mitochondrial gene regions from the three putative rockhopper penguin subspecies with the distances between various penguin sister species are compared to clarify the taxonomy and systematics of rockhoppers.

Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenies and the Comparative Method
TL;DR: A method of correcting for the phylogeny has been proposed, which specifies a set of contrasts among species, contrasts that are statistically independent and can be used in regression or correlation studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Strepsiptera problem: phylogeny of the holometabolous insect orders inferred from 18S and 28S ribosomal DNA sequences and morphology.
TL;DR: Phylogenetic relationships among the holometabolous insect orders were inferred from cladistic analysis of nucleotide sequences of 18S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) and 28S rDNA and morphological characters.
Book
The ecology of ectoparasitic insects.
TL;DR: This book is the first to examine comprehensively the ecology of ectoparasitic insects and admits for review any group of organisms whose members follow the parasitic mode of life, emphasizing areas of parasitology which have advanced significantly at the time of publication.
Journal ArticleDOI
Maps Between Trees and Cladistic Analysis of Historical Associations among Genes,Organisms, and Areas
TL;DR: The reconciled tree as discussed by the authors combines the tree for a host and its associate into a single summary of the historical association between the two entities under the assumption that no horizontal transmission of associates has occurred.
Journal ArticleDOI
Disparate rates of molecular evolution in cospeciating hosts and parasites
Mark S. Hafner,Philip D. Sudman,Francis X. Villablanca,Theresa A. Spradling,James W. Demastes,Steven A. Nadler +5 more
TL;DR: DNA sequences for the gene encoding mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I in a group of rodents and their ectoparasites provide evidence for cospeciation and reveal different rates of molecular evolution in the hosts and their parasites.
