    Abstract

    Rohde's original host specificity index and the modified index correcting for number of host species are discussed, using some arbitrary examples. The indices can be applied to address ecological questions involving parasites, herbivores, symbionts and commensals, where phylogenetic relationships of hosts are irrelevant.
