Add Tag | Summary: | Provides a functional view of parasitism within an ecological context, focusing on endoparasitic helminths because most of the available literature pertains to them. Reviews the concept of parasitism, and discusses such topics as the density and non-density constraints on population biology, parasites that affect the population dynamics of their hosts, life history strategies, and evolution. Assumes an undergraduate level background in biology. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or. |
