John Huntley and myself are currently guest-editing two volumes for Topics in Geobiology on the evolution and fossil record of parasitism and are having trouble finding a researcher to contribute a chapter on The Evolution and fossil record of insects as vectors and hosts for parasites. Insects are common hosts for various parasites and pathogens which in some cases can even cause characteristic diseases and pathologies in them. Would there be any (paleo)ecologists, paleontologist, parasitologists or evolutionary paleobiologist who might be able contribute such a chapter this year. We will sent it out for review in addition to reviewing it ourselves. Please sent me an private message or e-mail with a potential outline or potential contributors.
George Poinar would be an option, but he is already working on another chapter for us about unicellular pathogens... We contacted several researchers working on pathologies and insects as hosts without much success.
