Citizen science reveals host-switching in louse flies and keds (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) during a period of anthropogenic change. [PDF]

Med Vet Entomol
A study of louse flies in the United Kingdom, Isle of Man, and Ireland found 212 different interactions between Hippoboscidae and their hosts, of which 70 were previously unrecorded. No louse flies were found on aquatic species of birds. Host‐switching to gulls (Laridae) has occurred during a period in which these species have started relying on ...

Effects of Poplar Ecological Retreat on Habitat Suitability for Migratory Birds in China’s Dongting Lake Wetland

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022
The Poplar Ecological Retreat (PER) project in Dongting Lake wetland is an important measure in response to China’s ecological civilization construction policy, it aims to remove eastern cottonwoods (Populus deltoides) that artificial large-scale planted

Responses of habitat suitability for migratory birds to increased water level during middle of dry season in the two largest freshwater lake wetlands of China

Ecological Indicators, 2021
Dongting Lake (DTL) and Poyang Lake (PYL), the China’s two largest freshwater lakes, are vital migration routes and wintering habitats for the migratory birds of East Asian – Australia. Due to damming and climate change, the water level during the middle

Past Colony Connectivity of a Declining Seabird Derived From Host-Parasite Genetic Data. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
ABSTRACT The black‐legged kittiwake (Rissa tridactyla, hereafter ‘kittiwake’, conservation status ‘Vulnerable’) is a long‐lived, highly motile and wide‐ranging seabird. Breeding kittiwake colonies are abundant across the northern hemisphere. The kittiwake's life history and the spatial scale of its breeding distribution make understanding colony ...

8. Terns (Laridae)

, 2023
With key information linked to thematic maps, this section evaluates the climate change vulnerability of five terns (Laridae) species – Arctic Tern, Little Tern, Roseate Tern, Sandwich Tern, and Caspian Tern – in the North-East Atlantic. The assessments for every species cover three categories each: the exposure, or the magnitude in percentage and the ...

Water bodies of former peat pits as the most important nesting sites for some species of Laridae in the center of European Russia [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences
In this paper, we analyze the role of artificial water bodies in the former peat pits as habitats for gulls and terns based on long-term monitoring data in the Nizhny Novgorod oblast (area 76.624 km2), located in the center of European Russia. 3 regional

External and gastrointestinal parasites of the Franklin’s Gull, Leucophaeus pipixcan (Charadriiformes: Laridae), in Talcahuano, central Chile

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária, 2020
Parasitological studies of the Franklin's gull, Leucophaeus pipixcan, are scarce, and knowledge about its endoparasites is quite limited. In order to describe its parasitic community, a total of 60 Franklin’s gulls were captured in the coastal area in ...

Mesoscale spatiotemporal variability in a complex host-parasite system influenced by intermediate host body size [PDF]

PeerJ, 2017
Background Parasites are essential components of natural communities, but the factors that generate skewed distributions of parasite occurrences and abundances across host populations are not well understood.
