• Eastward Ho: phylogeographical perspectives on colonization of hosts and parasites across the Beringian nexus (2007, background): “Parasites Parasites, of intrinsic importance in human and animal health (e.g. Kutz et al., 2004), are also excellent indicators in presentday and historical ecology and biogeography at varying temporal and spatial scales (Brooks & Hoberg, 2000; Hoberg & Klassen, 2002).”
• Implications of climate change for parasitism of animals in the aquatic environment (2001, background): “2000), and it is imperative to remember that parasites constitute an important component of biodiversity (Marcogliese and Price 1997; Brooks and Hoberg 2000).”
• A macroevolutionary mosaic: episodic host‐switching, geographical colonization and diversification in complex host–parasite systems (2008, background): “Even more evident is a corollary: the only way to eliminate the unpleasant surprises of emergent diseases is to engage in detailed taxonomic and natural history inventories (Brooks & Hoberg, 2000, 2006; Brooks & Ferrao, 2005; Woolhouse & GowtageSequeria, 2005; Wolfe et al., 2007).”
• Homage to Linnaeus: How many parasites? How many hosts? (2008, background): “[The number of parasite species could actually be much higher, especially because fish species are hugely undersampled (13, 14), as are the reptiles, amphibians, and indeed all vertebrate groups in the tropics (15).”
• Parasites: Small Players with Crucial Roles in the Ecological Theater (2004, background): “Moreover, and not insignificantly, parasites are used as indicators of historical biogeography and phylogenetics of their hosts (Brooks and Hoberg, 2000).”
• Finding Them Before They Find Us: Informatics, Parasites, and Environments in Accelerating Climate Change (2014, background): “…dynamics, and emerging disease, that is, the critical information needed for making proactive, anticipatory policies, results when parasite biodiversity inventories are placed in an evolutionary context (Gardner and Campbell, 1992; Hoberg, 1997; Brooks and Hoberg, 2000, 2013; Hoberg et al., 2008).”
