Intro -- Contents -- Foreword -- Contributors -- Introduction -- Part I: Historical Biogeography -- 1 Beyond vicariance: integrating taxon pulses, ecological fitting, and oscillation in evolution and historical biogeography -- 2 Palaeogeography of parasites -- 3 Phylogeography and historical biogeography of obligate specific mutualisms -- 4 Biogeography, humans, and their parasites -- 5 The use of co-phylogeographic patterns to predict the nature of host-parasite interactions, and vice versa -- Part II: Ecological Biogeography and Macroecology -- 6 Marine parasite diversity and environmental gradients -- 7 Parasite diversity and latitudinal gradients in terrestrial mammals -- 8 Ecological properties of a parasite: species-specific stability and geographical variation -- 9 Similarity and variability of parasite assemblages across geographical space -- 10 Gap analysis and the geographical distribution of parasites -- Part III: Geography of Interactive Populations -- 11 In the hosts' footsteps? Ecological niche modelling and its utility in predicting parasite distributions -- 12 The geography of defence -- 13 Evolutionary landscape epidemiology -- Part IV: Invasion, Insularity, and Interactions -- 14 The geography of host and parasite invasions -- 15 Immune defence and invasion -- 16 Infection, immunity, and island adaptation in birds -- Part V: Applied Biogeography -- 17 The geography and ecology of pathogen emergence -- 18 When geography of health meets health ecology -- Conclusion -- Index -- A -- B -- C -- D -- E -- F -- G -- H -- I -- J -- K -- L -- M -- N -- O -- P -- R -- S -- T -- U -- V -- W -- Y -- Z.
Summary: This edited volume demonstrates how the latest developments in biogeography (for example in phylogenetics, macroecology, and geographic information systems) can be applied to studies in the evolutionary ecology of host-parasite interactions in order to integrate spatial patterns with ecological theory.
