Comparative body size relationships in pocket gophers and their chewing lice [PDF]
Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2000 Abstract In this paper, we use the method of independent contrasts to study body size relationships between pocket gophers and their chewing lice, a host-parasite system in which both host and parasite phylogenies are well studied. The evolution of body size of chewing lice appears to be dependent only on the body size of their hosts, which confirms ...
