Host Manipulation by Parasites (Paperback)

Parasites that manipulate the behaviour of their hosts represent
striking examples of adaptation by natural selection. This field of
study is now moving beyond its descriptive phase and into more
exciting areas where the processes and patterns of such dramatic
adaptations can be better understood. This innovative text provides
an up-to-date, authoritative, and challenging review of host
manipulation by parasites that assesses the current state of
developments in the field and lays out a framework for future
research. It also promotes a greater integration of behavioral
ecology with studies of host manipulation (behavioral ecology has
tended to concentrate mainly on behaviour expressed by free living
organisms and is far less focused on the role of parasites in
shaping behaviour). To help achieve this, the editors adopt a novel
approach of having a prominent expert on behavioral ecology (but
who does not work directly on parasites) to provide an afterword to
each chapter.
