商品描述

This two-volume edited book highlights and reviews the potential of the fossil record to calibrate the origin and evolution of parasitism, and the techniques to understand the development of parasite-host associations and their relationships with environmental and ecological changes. The book deploys a broad and comprehensive approach, aimed at understanding the origins and developments of various parasite groups, in order to provide a wider evolutionary picture of parasitism as part of biodiversity. This is in contrast to most contributions by parasitologists in the literature that focus on circular lines of evidence, such as extrapolating from current host associations or distributions, to estimate constraints on the timing of the origin and evolution of various parasite groups. This approach is narrow and fails to provide the wider evolutionary picture of parasitism on, and as part of, biodiversity.

Volume two focuses on the importance of direct host associations and host responses such as pathologies in the geological record to constrain the role of antagonistic interactions in driving the diversification and extinction of parasite-host relationships and disease. To better understand the impact on host populations, emphasis is given to arthropods, colonial metazoans, echinoderms, mollusks and vertebrates as hosts. In addition, novel techniques used to constrain interactions in deep time are discussed ranging from chemical and microscopic investigations of host remains, such as blood and coprolites, to the statistical inference of lateral transfer of transposons and host-parasite coevolutionary dynamics using molecular divergence time estimation.

這本兩卷本的編輯書籍突顯並回顧了化石紀錄在校準寄生現象的起源與演化方面的潛力，以及理解寄生蟲與宿主之間關聯及其與環境和生態變化的關係的技術。該書採用廣泛且全面的方法，旨在理解各種寄生蟲群體的起源與發展，以提供寄生現象作為生物多樣性一部分的更廣泛演化圖景。這與大多數寄生蟲學家在文獻中所做的貢獻形成對比，後者通常專注於循環證據，例如從當前宿主關聯或分佈推斷，以估計各種寄生蟲群體起源與演化的時間限制。這種方法狹隘，未能提供寄生現象在生物多樣性中的更廣泛演化圖景。

第二卷專注於直接宿主關聯和宿主反應（如病理學）在地質紀錄中的重要性，以限制對抗性互動在推動寄生蟲-宿主關係和疾病的多樣化與滅絕中的作用。為了更好地理解對宿主族群的影響，特別強調了節肢動物、殖民性多細胞生物、棘皮動物、軟體動物和脊椎動物作為宿主。此外，還討論了用於限制深時間互動的新技術，這些技術包括對宿主遺骸（如血液和糞石）的化學和顯微鏡調查，以及使用分子分歧時間估計的轉座子側向轉移和宿主-寄生蟲共演化動態的統計推斷。

作者簡介

Dr. Kenneth De Baets is a paleobiologist at the Geozentrum Nordbayern in the faculty of Natural Sciences at Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nurnberg. He graduated from Ghent University with a Masters in Geology and earned his PhD in Evolutionary Biology at the University of Zürich. His main research focuses on documenting and interpreting the relative contributions of abiotic (e.g., climate) and biotic factors (e.g., parasitism) in driving large-scale patterns in the evolution of life and biomineralization.

Dr. John Huntley is an Associate Professor in the Department of Geological Sciences at the University of Missouri. He graduated from Appalachian State University with a Bachelors of Science in Geology in 2000, then earned his Masters in Geology at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington in 2003, and his PhD in Geosciences at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in 2007. His main research interests include the fossil record of biotic interactions, stratigraphic and conservation paleobiology, and the evolution of morphological disparity.
