Is the world wormier than it used to be? We'll never know without natural history collections
CL Wood, MPM Vanhove - Journal of Animal Ecology, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Many disease ecologists and conservation biologists believe that the world is wormier than it
used to be—that is, that parasites are increasing in abundance through time. This argument …
