Species-level drivers of mammalian ectoparasite faunas. Journal of Animal Ecology. https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2656.13216. The question of what drives the number of parasite species able to infect a given host species is still a largely open question, despite decades of research. Dáttilo and colleagues examine the potential drivers of ectoparasite species across a large set of host species to explore the taxonomic and trait drivers of host-parasite interactions. Here, we contextualize their findings, explore what is known about parasite species richness, and identify some potential next steps towards answers.

什么决定了寄主物种的寄生虫物种丰富度？

焦点 Dáttilo, W., Barrozo-Chávez, N., Lira-Noriega, A., Guevara, R., Villalobos, F., Santiago-Alarcon, D., Neves, FS, Izzo, T., & Ribeiro, SP (2020)。哺乳动物体外寄生虫群的物种级驱动因素。动物生态学杂志。https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2656.13216。尽管进行了数十年的研究，但什么驱动了能够感染给定宿主物种的寄生虫物种数量的问题仍然是一个很大的悬而未决的问题。Dáttilo 及其同事研究了大量宿主物种中外寄生物物种的潜在驱动因素，以探索宿主-寄生虫相互作用的分类学和特征驱动因素。在这里，我们将他们的发现置于背景下，探索关于寄生虫物种丰富度的已知信息，并确定一些潜在的下一步答案。
