How Birds Combat Ectoparasites
- D. Clayton, J. Koop, Christopher W. Harbison, Brett R. Moyer, S. Bush
- Biology
- 22 April 2010
Birds are plagued by an impressive diversity of ectoparasites, ranging from feather-feeding lice, to feather- degrading bacteria. Many of these ectoparasites have severe negative effects on host… Expand
Ecology of congruence: past meets present.
- D. Clayton, S. Bush, K. Johnson
- Biology, Medicine
- Systematic biology
- 1 February 2004
Phylogenetic congruence is governed by various macroevolutionary events, including cospeciation, host switching, sorting, duplication, and failure to speciate. The relative frequency of these events… Expand
Coevolution of Life on Hosts: Integrating Ecology and History

Host defense reinforces host–parasite cospeciation
- D. Clayton, S. Bush, Brad M Goates, K. Johnson
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences…
- 12 December 2003
Cospeciation occurs when interacting groups, such as hosts and parasites, speciate in tandem, generating congruent phylogenies. Cospeciation can be a neutral process in which parasites speciate… Expand
Host defence mediates interspecific competition in ectoparasites.
- S. Bush, J. R. Malenke
- Biology, Medicine
- The Journal of animal ecology
- 1 May 2008
1. Interspecific competition influences which, how many and where species coexist in biological communities. Interactions between species in different trophic levels can mediate interspecific… Expand
COMPARATIVE TRANSMISSION DYNAMICS OF COMPETING PARASITE SPECIES.
- Christopher W. Harbison, S. Bush, J. R. Malenke, D. Clayton
- Biology, Medicine
- Ecology
- 1 November 2008
Competition-colonization trade-off models explain the coexistence of competing species in terms of a trade-off between competitive ability and the ability to colonize competitor-free patches of… Expand
Adaptive significance of avian beak morphology for ectoparasite control
- D. Clayton, Brett R. Moyer, +4 authors F. Goller
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological…
- 22 April 2005
The beaks of Darwin's finches and other birds are among the best known examples of adaptive evolution. Beak morphology is usually interpreted in relation to its critical role in feeding. However, the… Expand
Influenza A Virus Infections in Land Birds, People’s Republic of China
- A. Peterson, S. Bush, E. Spackman, D. Swayne, H. Ip
- Biology, Medicine
- Emerging infectious diseases
- 1 October 2008
Water birds are considered the reservoir for avian influenza viruses. We examined this assumption by sampling and real-time reverse transcription–PCR testing of 939 Asian land birds of 153 species.… Expand
CORRELATED EVOLUTION OF HOST AND PARASITE BODY SIZE: TESTS OF HARRISON'S RULE USING BIRDS AND LICE
- K. Johnson, S. Bush, D. Clayton
- 2005
Abstract Large-bodied species of hosts often harbor large-bodied parasites, a pattern known as Harrison's rule. Harrison's rule has been documented for a variety of animal parasites and herbivorous… Expand
