This document discusses how climate change may have impacted the range expansion of the beechdrop parasite (Epifagus virginiana) in relation to its host, the American beech (Fagus grandifolia). The authors analyze fossil pollen records, genetic data from both species, and build spatial models to infer the potential migration corridors used by the parasite as it followed its host northward from refugia after the last glacial maximum. They aim to better understand how host density and dispersal influence parasite colonization of new areas during climate-driven range shifts.
