摘要

I pass a small wetland on my way to work each morning. It oftenncontains small numbers of breeding mallards, canvasbacks, Canadangeese, and a few shorebirds. In this book, Robert Poulin and SergenMorand encourage us to revel in such diversity. More specifically, theynencourage us to think about the magnitude of the ‘‘hidden’’ biodiversitynthat exists in, or on, animals such as these. If we had the opportunitynto peer inside a sample of these hosts, 2 features would impress us. Onenis the magnitude in the numbers of species that exploit these types ofnhosts (52 species of intestinal macroparasites alone in populations ofnlesser scaup ducks), and the second is the tremendous variation in thennumbers of parasite species in different host species, even if the hostsnare sympatric and closely related. Characterizing that magnitude andnespecially that variation—from ecological, evolutionary, and epidemiologicalnperspectives—is the subject of this book.nThe central advance of this work is that it provides a state-of-the-artnsynopsis of current knowledge regarding patterns of parasite biodiversity.nThe writing is crisp and easy-to-read, with concise end-of-chapternsummaries and crystal clear illustrations. The coverage is broad innscope, ranging widely across parasite and host taxa (with emphasis onnmetazoan parasites of vertebrates) and ranging widely from local tonregional and global scales. Following a brief introductory chapter thatncovers standard definitions, Chapter 2 provides a useful summary ofnmethodological issues, including coverage of nonparametric methodsnused to estimate species richness in the face of the low and unevennsample sizes.
