Drivers of parasite sharing among Neotropical freshwater fishes [PDF]
Journal of Animal Ecology, 2014 SummaryBecause host–parasite interactions are so ubiquitous, it is of primary interest for ecologists to understand the factors that generate, maintain and constrain these associations. Phylogenetic comparative studies have found abundant evidence for host‐switching to relatively unrelated hosts, sometimes related to diversification events, in a ...

Ecosystem size predicts eco-morphological variability in a postglacial diversification [PDF]
, 2017 Identifying the processes by which new phenotypes and species emerge has been a long-standing effort in evolutionary biology. Young adaptive radiations provide a model to study patterns of morphological and ecological diversification in environmental ...
