  abstract = {{I}s it possible to omit parasites when studying free-living organisms ? {T}he answer is clearly no! {P}arasites have evolved independently in numerous animal lineages, and now make up a considerable proportion of the biodiversity of life. {E}cologists, epidemiologists, conservationists and evolutionary biologists are increasingly aware of the universal significance of parasites to the study of ecology and evolution where they have become a powerful model system. {T}his book provides a summary of the issues involved as well as an overview of the possibilities offered by this research topic including the practical applications for disease prevention. {I}t uses well-documented case-studies across a range of scales to illustrate the main trends and prospects in this area, outlining areas for future research. {E}cology and {E}volution of {P}arasitism is the first book to provide a broad synthesis of both the roles and consequences of pathogens on the ecology and evolution of free living systems. {I}t focuses on hosts rather than the parasites themselves, integrating those aspects related to the ecology and the evolution of free-living species (sexual selection, behaviour, life history traits, regulation of populations etc.). {T}he book includes examples across a range of scales from individuals to populations, communities and ecosystems.},
