Serge Morand, Boris R. Krasnov

The Biogeography of Host-Parasite Interactions

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This edited volume demonstrates how the latest developments in biogeography (for example in phylogenetics, macroecology, and geographic information systems) can be applied to studies in the evolutionary ecology of host-parasite interactions in order to integrate spatial patterns with ecological theory.

Serge Morand is an evolutionary ecologist who did his PhD at the University of Rennes (Brittany, France) and now works as a CNRS scientist in the "Institut des Sciences de l'Evolution" at the University of Montpellier 2 and at the CIRAD in the unit "Animal et Gestion Intégrée du Risque". Serge Morand was author or co-author of more the 250 publications and 5 edited books. Boris Krasnov was born in Moscow (former USSR) and graduated from Moscow State University in 1978. I received my PhD from Moscow State University in 1986 and worked in the Institute of Evolutionary Morphology and Ecology of Animals of the Academy of Science of the USSR. From 1991, I am working in Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel. At present, Boris Krasnov is a Full Professor. and authored about 200 publications, including 6 books (three monographs and 3 edited volumes). Rewards: 2003. Poula and David Ben-Gurion Foundation.
