Behavioural Ecology of Parasites

 Behavioural Ecology of Parasites

This book explores the complex interactions between parasites and their hosts, focusing on how parasite behaviour has evolved in response to ecological pressures. Written by international experts, it brings together research in behavioural biology, ecology, and parasitology to examine how parasites interact with hosts and influence biological systems. It provides a multidisciplinary reference for students, researchers, and professionals interested in parasite behaviour and host–parasite relationships.
