Life‐stage and sex influence Philornis ectoparasitism in a Neotropical woodpecker Melanerpes striatus with essential male parental care [PDF]

open access: yesIbis, 2023
The nestlings of many Neotropical bird species suffer from Philornis (Diptera: Muscidae) ectoparasitism. Although nestlings are typically considered the intended targets, recent work indicates that Philornis infest adult birds more frequently than previously appreciated, yet few studies have concurrently surveyed nestlings and adults for Philornis in ...

It ain’t easy being orange: lizard colour morphs occupying highly vegetated microhabitats suffer greater ectoparasitism

Amphibia-Reptilia, 2022
Intraspecific colour morphs usually differ in more traits than just colour. These traits can manifest as differences in morph physiology, behaviour, and ecology. Ecological differences among colour morphs, such as the degree of parasitism, can influence

Ectoparasites

2013
This chapter highlights the importance of ectoparasites as vectors for many major diseases. It first defines ectoparasites as the arthropods that live on or in the skin, often feeding on blood. The chapter then shifts to describe the mites, which parasitize a wide range of animals and plants.

Dickdellia on Colossendeis: testing ectoparasitism with stable isotopes

Antarctic Science, 2020
Many pycnogonids are ectoparasites of benthic invertebrates. Even gastropods are on their menu (reviewed in Dietz et al. 2018). It is somewhat ironic that a marine gastropod, Dickdellia labioflecta (Dell, 1990), might have reversed this principle ...
