Spatial clustering of hosts can favor specialist parasites
Abstract Generalist parasites seem to enjoy the clear ecological advantage of a greater chance to find a host, and genetic trade‐offs are therefore often invoked to explain why specialists can coexist with or outcompete generalists. Here we develop an alternative perspective based on optimal foragin...
