Autoclaving Nest-Material Remains Influences the Probability of Ectoparasitism of Nestling Hoopoes (Upupa epops) [PDF]
Biology, 2020 Nest bacterial environment influences avian reproduction directly because it might include pathogenic- or antibiotic-producing bacteria or indirectly because predators or ectoparasites can use volatile compounds from nest bacterial metabolism to detect ...

Studia Biologica = БІОЛОГІЧНІ СТУДІЇ Studia Biologica, 2022 Background. Over 700 species of ticks are characterised by moderate to high host specificity, and a handful by very high host specificity, parasitizing upon a single host species. The rest are not host specific. One of them is the castor bean tick, which

Benefits and Costs of Mixed-Species Aggregations in Harvestmen (Arachnida: Opiliones)
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Many animals form aggregations with individuals of the same species (single-species aggregations, SSA). Less frequently, individuals may also aggregate with individuals of other species (mixed-species aggregations, MSA).

Philornis infection in blue‐black grassquits: impact on nestlings and risk factors involved
Journal of Avian Biology, 2021 Parasitic botfly larvae (Philornis ssp., Diptera: Muscidae) are found in nests of several bird taxa, although prevalence and impact on nestling survival vary considerably among species.

Rhipicephalus linnaei (Acari: Ixodidae) parasitizing a forest-dwelling bird: a case in a conserved area of the Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest [PDF]
Ciência Rural: We report a case of a tick of the Rhipicephalus linnaei, an ectoparasite of medical and veterinary importance, parasitizing a strictly forest-dwelling bird in a conserved lowland forest. During a study of manakins (Pipridae), one larva of R.
