| Abstract: | When examining the historical context of co-existence between host and parasite lineages, we speak of coevolution. But the principles and methods discussed herein apply equally well to any ecological association. This is the basis of the emerging field of historical ecology (Brooks, 1985; Brooks &; Wiley, 1986). Implementing serious studies in historical ecology requires expertise in phylogenetic analysis, ecology and development biology. Traditionally, parasitologists have received broad training in all three of these areas. This places parasitologists in an excellent position to assume leadership roles in developing this new field of research. |
