内容説明
For several years there has been a growing interest in understanding the dynamics of parasites in ecosystems, as well as the diversity of ways in which they influence ecosystem functioning through their effects on host populations and communities. Ecologists, epidemiologists, evolutionary biologists, and other scientists are increasingly coming to realise that parasites must be taken into account when studying ecosystems. Parasitism and Ecosystems summarizes current knowledge on this topic, providing a comprehensive overview for researchers and students. It represents the first synthesis of both the roles and the consequences of pathogens in ecosystems, utilising well-documented case-studies to illustrate the main issues as well as identifying prospects for future research.
目次
- Introduction: Parasites, diversity, and the ecosystem
- 1. Linking ecosystem and parasite ecology
- 2. Are there general laws in parasite community ecology? The emergence of spatial parasitology and epidemiology
- 3. Parasitism and the regulation of host populations
- 4. Food web patterns and the parasite's perspective
- 5. Ecosystems and parasitism: the spatial dimension
- 6. Parasitism and hostile environments
- 7. Parasitism and environmental disturbances
- 8. Parasitism, biodiversity, and conservation
- 9. Subverting hosts and diverting ecosystems: an evolutionary modelling perspective
- 10. Parasitism in man-made ecosystems
- Conclusion: Parasites, communities, and ecosystems: conclusions and perspectives

Ecologists, epidemiologists, evolutionary biologists, and other scientists are increasingly coming to realise that parasites must be taken into account when studying ecosystems. Parasitism and Ecosystems summarizes

It represents the first synthesis of both the roles and the consequences of pathogens in ecosystems, utilising well-documented case-studies to illustrate the main issues as well as identifying prospects for
