Patterns of host–parasite associations in tropical lice and their passerine hosts in Cameroon

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 10, Issue 13, Page 6512-6524, July 2020., 2020
Associations of lice and their avian hosts in the tropical rainforests of Cameroon are predominantly shaped by host switching. Despite the general incongruence between parasite and host phylogenies, the significant correlation between host and parasite phylogenetic distances suggests the prevalence of host switching to closely related hosts.
