Extensive research has demonstrated the considerable importance of parasites in influencing the phenotype of their hosts. These studies have also demonstrated that the ecoevolutionary dynamics of animals (hosts) and symbionts (encompassing all types of symbioses) are inextricably linked with reciprocal interactions. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Nature Ecology & Evolution, 1(11), p. 1592-1595 | Publisher: | Nature Publishing Group | Place of Publication: | United Kingdom | ISSN: | 2397-334X | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 060399 Evolutionary Biology not elsewhere classified 060899 Zoology not elsewhere classified 060299 Ecology not elsewhere classified |
