Introduction - parasites, diversity, and the ecosystem / Peter Hudson -- 1. Linking ecosystem and parasite ecology / Michel Loreau, Jacques Roy and David Tilman -- 2. Are there general laws in parasite community ecology? : the emergence of spatial parasitology and epidemiology / J.-F. Guegan, S. Morand and R. Poulin -- 3. Parasitism and the regulation of host populations / Anders Pape Moller -- 4. Food web patterns and the parasite's perspective / Michael V. K. Sukhdeo and Alexander D. Hernandez -- 5. Ecosystems and parasitism : the spatial dimension / Robert Holt and Thierry Boulinier -- 6. Parasitism and hostile environments / Richard C. Tinsley -- 7. Parasitism and environmental disturbances / Kevin D. Lafferty and Armand M. Kuris -- 8. Parasitism, biodiversity, and conservation / Frederic Thomas, Michael B. Bonsall and Andy P. Dobson -- 9. Subverting hosts and diverting ecosystems : an evolutionary modelling perspective / Sam P. Brown, Jean-Baptiste Andre, Jean-Baptiste Ferdy and Bernard Godelle -- 10. Parasitism in man-made ecosystems / Francois Renaud, Thierry De Meeus and Andrew F. Read -- Conclusion - parasites, communities, and ecosystems : conclusions and perspectives / Gary G. Mittelbach.
Summary: "Ecologists, epidemiologists, evolutionary biologists, and other scientists are increasingly coming to realize that parasites must be taken into account when studying ecosystems. 'Parasitism and Ecosystems' summarizes current knowledge on this topic. It represents the synthesis of both the roles and the consequences of pathogens in ecosystems" --Provided by publisher.
