Descripción
Sumario:For most, the mere mention of lice forces an immediate hand to the head and recollection of childhood experiences with nits, medicated shampoos and traumatic haircuts. But for a certain breed of biologist, lice make for fascinating scientific fodder, especially enlightening in the study of coevolution. In this book, three leading experts on host-parasite relationships demonstrate how the stunning coevolution that occurs between such species in microevolutionary, or ecological, time generates clear footprints in macroevolutionary, or historical, time.
