Where'd everybody go?

[Mark Siddall]

I suppose the grand flurry is over?
Anybody read the latest compilation of review articles in Int. J.
Parasitol. regarding parasite evolution?
Anybody else a little troubled about the search for common themes
in the evolution of parasitic protists?
As though a) parasitic protists were monphyletic? or b) protists were
monophyletic? or c) parasites were monophyletic?

Just checking...

Mark
