Description
Parasites: The Inside Story explores the essential roles that parasites play in Earth's ecosystems. From arctic oceans to tropical forests, this book examines how parasites survive and evolve, and how they influence and provide stability to ecosystems.
The authors investigate the impact of parasites on humans and other animals, using examples from diverse parasite-host relationships, such as those between trematodes and snails and tapeworms and whales. By studying parasites, biologists can gain insights into the evolutionary history of particular regions and predict future challenges.
This book reveals that parasites are more than just creepy-crawlies, providing up-to-date context for these critical members of the biological diversity of our planet.
