Host‐Cleptoparasite Biogeographical Congruence Through Time: The Case of Cuckoo Oil Bees
ABSTRACT Aim Insect brood parasites (i.e., cleptoparasites), like cuckoo bees, typically attack hosts within specific lineages, but seem to be less constrained by the biogeographical movements of their hosts compared to obligate parasites. Cuckoo bees depend on stable host populations, being particularly sensitive to environmental changes and thus ...
