Seasonal variation in preen gland secretions of Tristram's Storm Petrel (Hydrobates tristrami)
Ibis, EarlyView.Preen gland secretions are known to vary depending on sex, season and species and are thought to play essential roles in avian life history. However, their chemical composition and functions remain largely unclear in Procellariiform seabirds with well‐developed olfactory senses. Storm petrels, known for their distinctive body odour, may use preen gland

Detection of vector-borne pathogens in cats and their ectoparasites in southern Italy
Parasites & Vectors, 2016 Vector-borne pathogens are the subject of several investigations due to the zoonotic concern of some of them. However, limited data are available about the simultaneous presence of these pathogens in cats and their ectoparasites.

Wild Rodent Ectoparasites Collected from Northwestern Iran [PDF]
Background: Rodents play an important role as reservoir of some pathogens, and the host of some ectoparasites as well. These ectoparasites can transmit rodents’ pathogens to human or animals.

A longitudinal study of avian pox in a small passerine, the Dunnock (Prunella modularis)
Ibis, EarlyView.Long‐term, longitudinal studies of disease in wild bird populations are rare. Diseases are important determinants of bird survival and may spill‐over into other species including livestock and, in some cases, humans. Avian pox is a globally distributed disease, resulting from infection by viruses in the genus Avipoxvirus (APV).

A method for testing the host specificity of ectoparasites: give them the opportunity to choose
Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2005 Host-choice experiments were carried out with rodent and bat ectoparasites on Ilha Grande, state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. We constructed experimental chambers that enclosed three different rodent or bat host species, and then introduced a selected set ...

Host body microcosm and ectoparasite infracommunities: Arthropod ectoparasites are not spatially segregated [PDF]
, 2012 We studied the distribution of ectoparasite species (an ixodid tick, a chigger mite, 7 mesostigmate mites, 5 fleas and 3 lice) on bodies of 5 species of rodent hosts from the marshlands in Argentina to establish whether arthropod ectoparasites are ...

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Here, we used a unique 37‐year (1969–2006) freshwater macroinvertebrate time‐series, collected over seven sites in central Germany, to study biodiversity patterns and species accumulation over time. Accumulation curves of Diptera diversity have not reached a plateau in 37 years of sampling.
