Bedbugs Evolved before Their Bat Hosts and Did Not Co-speciate with Ancient Humans
Original language description
All 100 plus bedbug species (Cimicidae) are obligate bloodsucking parasites. In general, blood sucking (hematophagy) is thought to have evolved in generalist feeders adventitiously taking blood meals, but those cimicid taxa currently considered ancestral are putative host specialists. Bats are believed to be the ancestral hosts of cimicids, but a cimicid fossil predates the oldest known bat fossil by more than 30 million years (Ma). The bedbugs that parasitize humans are host generalists, so their evolution from specialist ancestors is incompatible with the resource efficiency hypothesis and only partially consistent with the oscillation hypothesis. Because quantifying host shift fre quencies of hematophagous specialists and generalists may help to predict host associations when vertebrate ranges expand by climate change, livestock, and pet trade in general and because of the previously proposed role of human prehistory in parasite speciation, we constructed a fossildated, molecular phylogeny of the
