The Behavioural Ecology of Parasites addresses the behavioural adaptations of parasites across a broad range of taxa, and expands beyond the traditional realm of parasitology to include invertebrate parasites, such as parasitoid wasps, entomopathogenic nematodes, seed-feeding insects and plant-parasitic nematodes. The chapters in this book emphasize the fundamental principles of parasitism, which apply across taxa, and address the diversity and sophistication of parasite behavioural adaptations. The chapters are arranged in four sections: Foraging for Hosts, Host Acceptance and Infection, Interactions among Parasites within Hosts, and Parasite–Host Interactions.
