DESCRIPTION:“The unpredictable and the predetermined unfold together to 
 make everything the way it is.”  ― Tom Stoppard\, Arcadia\n \nIn this 
 talk I'll discuss mathematical and empirical developments over the last tw
 enty years that examine the role that parasites play in natural (non-human
 ) communities of hosts. The organizing theme of the talk is the role that 
 parasite diversity plays in determining the dynamic and geometric structur
 e food webs. I'll organize the talk into four sub-sessions that examine (1
 ) The dynamics of parasites with multiple hosts\; (2) Parasites with seque
 ntial multiple hosts (3) the dynamics of parasite communities\; and (4) th
 e need for a better understanding of the role that host immunity plays in 
 structuring parasite communities.\n
