Ecological factors driving the feather mite associations in tropical avian hosts

Journal of Avian Biology, 2022
Birds host a diversity of ectosymbionts including feather‐dwelling arthropods such as feather mites and lice that they have co‐evolved and speciated with.

New records of feather mites (Sarcoptiformes: Astigmata) from some birds in Türkiye

Acarological Studies, 2023
Feather mites (Astigmata: Analgoidea and Pterolichoidea) are commensal ectosymbionts permanently living on avian hosts. The study was based on parasitological examination of 59 bird specimens representing 28 species from the orders Accipitriformes ...

Novel insights into symbiont population structure: Globe‐trotting avian feather mites contradict the specialist–generalist variation hypothesis

Molecular Ecology, 2023
Researchers often examine symbiont host specificity as a species‐level pattern, but it can also be key to understanding processes occurring at the population level, which are not as well understood.

Diversity and structure of feather mite communities on seabirds from the north–east Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea

Scientific Reports, 2023
The richness and structure of symbiont assemblages are shaped by many factors acting at different spatial and temporal scales. Among them, host phylogeny and geographic distance play essential roles.

Different scales of spatial segregation of two species of feather mites on the wings of a passerine bird [PDF]

, 2011
The \"condition-specific competition hypothesis\" proposes that coexistence of 2 species is possible when spatial or temporal variations in environmental conditions exist and each species responds differently to those conditions.
