The Beringian Coevolution Project: Mammals and Associated Macro- and Microparasites.

9972154 cook_该项目将1)提供白令陆桥哺乳动物和相关寄生虫的纵向和纵向清单；2)建立数据库以评估区域和半球间的多样性和生物地理学；3)提供材料，以解决选定的哺乳动物宿主及其相关寄生虫的保护、系统分类学和进化问题（例如，流行病学家）。这些信息将有助于解释过去（和预测未来）气候变化对生物多样性这一组成部分的影响。通过将重点放在寄生虫上，可以探讨受白令海陆桥反复淹没和白令陆桥动物群与其他大陆动物群分离（例如地方性）影响的宿主-寄生虫共种的程度和时间等问题。

9972154CookThis project will 1) provide a latitudinal and longitudinal inventory of Beringian mammals and associated parasites; 2) develop a database to asses regional and inter-hemispheric diversity and biogeography; 3) provide material to address the conservation, systematics, and evolution of selected mammalian hosts and their associated parasites (e.g., epidemiologists). This information will stimulate the interpretation of past (and prediction of future) impacts of climate change on this component of biotic diversity. By including a major emphasis on parasites, questions related to the extent and timing of host-parasite cospeciation as influenced by the repeated inundation of the Bering Land Bridge and separation of the Beringian fauna from other continental faunas (e.g. endemism) can be explored.
