{"product_id":"evolutionary-ecology-of-parasites-robert-poulin-9780691120850","title":"Evolutionary Ecology of Parasites: Second Edition","description":"\u003cp\u003eParasites have evolved independently in numerous animal lineages, and they now make up a considerable proportion of the biodiversity of life. Not only do they impact humans and other animals in fundamental ways, but in recent years they have become a powerful model system for the study of ecology and evolution, with practical applications in disease prevention. Here, in a thoroughly revised and updated edition of his influential earlier work, Robert Poulin provides an evolutionary ecologist's view of the biology of parasites. He sets forth a comprehensive synthesis of parasite evolutionary ecology, integrating information across scales from the features of individual parasites to the dynamics of parasite populations and the structuring of parasite communities. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eEvolutionary Ecology of Parasites\u003c\/i\u003e presents an evolutionary framework for the study of parasite biology, combining theory with empirical examples for a broader understanding of why parasites are as they are and do what they do. An up-to-date synthesis of the field, the book is an ideal teaching tool for advanced courses on the subject. Pointing toward promising directions and setting a research agenda, it will also be an invaluable reference for researchers who seek to extend our knowledge of parasite ecology and evolution.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Poulin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0691120854\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691120850\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/31\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.96h x 7.08w x 0.77d","brand":"Robert Poulin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43925608595711,"sku":"9780691120850","price":81.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_0af1ad6c-547c-4661-b548-b0970670f43a.jpg?v=1681078283","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/evolutionary-ecology-of-parasites-robert-poulin-9780691120850","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
