| Abstract | "Parasites, ranging from microscopic viruses and bacteria to macroscopic worms and arthropods, are a fundamental part of life for all animals. Parasites affect almost all aspects of their host's behavior, and conversely, host behavior affects parasites in countless ways. This book examines the many ways in which animal behavior and parasitism are interlinked, emphasizing the critical role of bi-directional feedbacks between the two phenomena. Chapters explore five central themes (social behavior, movement behavior, sexual selection and mating behavior, parasite modification of host behavior, and behavioral defenses against parasites) by synthesizing current knowledge and proposing new research directions for the future. The book delivers essential background and cutting-edge ideas in the study of animal behavior and parasitism that will resonate with students new to the field and more seasoned researchers alike"-- Provided by publisher. |
