In the Eye of the Cyclops: The Classic Case of Cospeciation and Why Paradigms are Important

摘要: Scientific disagreements due to empirical problems—not enough data, not of the critical type problems in analyzing data—are generally short-lived and resolved next cycle data production. Such are thus transitory nature. Persistent scientific conflicts, on other hand, do necessarily mean some facts correct wrong, nor they that we have information. More often, such persistent conflicts conceptual frameworks used by different groups researchers insufficient resolve apparent data. The latter seems be case with about phenomenon cospeciation, wherein there has historically been no framework allows us understand speciation host switching when parasite lineages involved equal ages. This situation can now emergence what become known as ''Stockholm Paradigm.'' In short, re-examination dubbed ''classic cospeciation'' shows divergent views cospeciation subsumed reconciled within larger explanatory Stockholm Paradigm. implications considerable, given need a fundamental understanding faunal structure, assembly, distribution addition an historical evolutionary drivers diversity current arena accelerating environmental change, ecological perturbation, emerging infectious diseases.
