The broad goal of this study is to gain a better understanding of how communities of parasites on insular mammals form, how they differ from their mainland counterparts, and how their evolutionary histories shed light on and affect those of their hosts. To achieve this, I will sample deer mouse (Peromyscus maniculatus) populations on the California Channel Islands and perform a comprehensive survey of the ectoparasite communities associated with these mice on each island and on the nearby mainland. The data will be used to reconstruct the phylogeographic history of the mice and their parasites across the islands, to test alternative community assembly hypotheses, and to explore the role that parasites play in determining host body size.
