While feeding and interacting with their surroundings, seabirds are exposed to dozens of parasites that are uniquely evolved to infect a narrow range of hosts. Despite the large taxonomic diversity of seabird parasites, they have similar morphologies, making them difficult to differentiate with confidence. To identify helminths, we use taxonomic ke...

Significance Knowledge of host–symbiont biogeography is critical to understanding fundamental aspects of symbiosis such as host–symbiont specificity. Marine animals typically acquire their symbionts from the environment, a strategy that enables the host to associate with symbionts that are well-suited to local conditions. In contrast, we discovered...
