Host longevity and parasite species richness in mammals
Hosts and parasites co-evolve, with each lineage exerting selective pressures on the other.
Thus, parasites may influence host life-history characteristics, such as longevity, and
simultaneously host life-history may influence parasite diversity. If parasite burden causes
increased mortality, we expect a negative association between host longevity and parasite
species richness. Alternatively, if long-lived species represent a more stable environment for
parasite establishment, host longevity and parasite species richness may show a positive …
