Abstract

Biodiversity is fundamental to both eukaryote and prokaryote ecology, yet investigations of diversity often differ markedly between the two disciplines. Host specificity - the association of organisms with only a few (specialism) or many (generalism) host species - is recognized within eukaryote eco...
