Environmental DNA Methods for Detection of Varroa destructor in Honey Bee (Apis mellifera) Hives
The parasitic mite, Varroa destructor, is a worldwide problem for honey bees (Apis mellifera). Using a new species‐specific qPCR assay, we assessed the detection of V. destructor eDNA collected in honey and surface swabs from managed bee hives in Australia, where V. destructor has recently invaded, and in New Zealand, where V. destructor is established.

Intraspecific avian brood parasites avoid host nests infested by ectoparasites [PDF]
Intraspecific brood parasitism is widespread among birds and provides clues for elucidating the evolutionary origin of interspecific brood parasitism. Studies suggest that brood parasitism does not occur at random, but that parasitic females select nests with advantages such as higher physical stability, reduced predation risk, or lower ectoparasite ...
