N2  - "The Art of Being a Parasite is an extensive collection of bizarre and breathtaking stories that illuminate the ecology and evolution of relationships between species. Claude Combes illustrates what it means to be a parasite by considering every stage of its interactions, from invading to reproducing to leaving the host. A follow-up to Combes's Parasitism, this book will be of interest to both scholars and nonspecialists in the fields of biodiversity, natural history, ecology, public health, and evolution."--BOOK JACKET
