Theodosopoulos et al. review ‘Parasites and host species barriers in animal
hybrid zones’, stating (abstract) ‘Parasites most frequently show potential to
contribute to species barrier breakdown in hybrid zones, but also frequently show
potential to facilitate the maintenance of species barriers.’ and (highlights) ‘Parasites may play an important role in shaping species boundaries.’ Here we question the support for these statements.
