Islands biotas have long fascinated biologists studying evolution.
Yet studies focuses on parasites have by far lag behind those on free-living organisms.
At present we know little about how parasites colonize, spread and adapt to islands, despite the implications this may have from a conservation and epidemiological perspective.
Reptiles parasites are interesting systems to tackle such questions.
Despite reptiles have been long-considered model organisms for evolutionary studies, little work ha…
