Geography is a stronger predictor of diversification of monogenean parasites (Platyhelminthes) than host relatedness in characin fishes of Middle America.
Host-parasite associations have historically been considered compelling examples of coevolution and useful in examining cospeciation. However, modern molecular methods have revealed more complex dynamics than previously assumed, with host-switching events appearing commonly across taxa and challengi...
