Functional and Phylogenetic Structure of Forest Bird Assemblages Along an Afrotropical Elevational Gradient

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2025.
On Mt. Cameroon, functional richness and taxonomic diversity decreased with elevation, while functional nearest neighbor distance, functional evenness, and mean nearest taxon distance showed positive trends. Traits related to resource use indicated that higher‐elevation species were functionally less similar than expected by chance, supporting ...

A case of a Pustulated Carrion Beetle (Nicrophorus pustulatus, Coleoptera: Silphidae) burying live Tree Swallow (Tachycineta bicolor, Passeriformes: Hirundinidae) nestlings under the nest

open access: yes, 2020
The ecology of Pustulated Burying Beetle (Nicrophorus pustulatus, Coleoptera: Silphidae) appears distinct among Nicrophorus species, with evidence of it parasitizing snake eggs and foraging primarily above the ground and into the forest canopy.

Evaluating the effects of tracking devices on survival, breeding success, behavior, and condition of a small, partially migratory shorebird

open access: yesJournal of Avian Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 4, July 2025.
Studies on bird behavior have benefited from the miniaturization of tracking devices and the opportunities for massive data collection facilitated by extensive satellite and cellular infrastructures. However, assessments of the effects of tracking devices on the behavior and survival of birds are rarely conducted and disseminated – raising animal ...

Strukturierungsmechanismen der Crematogaster-Macaranga Ameisen-Pflanzen Assoziationen : ein kombinierter ökologischer und phylogenetischer Ansatz

open access: yes, 2003
One of the most species-rich ant-plant mutualisms worldwide is the palaeotropical Crematogaster-Macaranga system. The pioneer-tree genus Macaranga (Euphorbiaceae) is mainly inhabited by at least nine specific species of Crematogaster (Myrmicinae), of ...

Case of human infestation with dermanyssus gallinae (Poultry red mite) from swallows (hirundinidae)

open access: yes, 2021
Dermanyssus gallinae (the poultry red mite, PRM) is an important ectoparasite in the laying hen industry. PRM can also infest humans, causing gamasoidosis, which is manifested as skin le-sions characterized by rash and itching.

Myzobdella Platensis (Hirundinida: Piscicolidae) is True Parasite of Blue Crabs (Crustacea: Portunidae)

open access: yesJournal of Parasitology, 2009
Leeches exhibit a marked scope of diversity, including different kinds of symbiosis. The aim of the present study was to demonstrate through biochemical and histological analysis that a species of piscicolid leech, Myzobdella platensis, is a true parasite of blue crabs, feeding on their hemolymph and using them as a site for cocoon deposition.
