Where traditional #extinction estimates fall flat: using novel cophylogenetic methods to estimate extinction #risk in #platyhelminths: https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2022.0432
Here, we apply a novel metric to estimate the cophylogenetic extinction #rate, Ec, of #parasites with their hosts. The approach allows to incorporates information about the evolutionary history of parasites and hosts that can be estimated using event-based #cophylogenetic methods.
