Temporal Study of Environmental DNA and Acoustic Data Reveals Coexistence of Sympatric Bat Species in a North American Ecosystem

Environmental DNA, Volume 6, Issue 6, November–December 2024.
We found evidence of fine‐scale spatial partitioning and temporal differences in activity of different bat species in our northern California study area based on acoustic data. Two co‐roosting species, Tadarida brasiliensis and Eptesicus fuscus, displayed some differences in the identities and relative abundances of prey species consumed, but both ...

Understanding the biology and control of the poultry red mite Dermanyssus gallinae: a review [PDF]

, 2015
Dermanyssus gallinae, the poultry red mite (PRM), is a blood-feeding ectoparasite capable of causing pathology in birds, amongst other animals. It is an increasingly important pathogen in egg layers and is responsible for substantial economic losses to ...

Do sexual differences in life strategies make male lizards more susceptible to parasite infection?

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 93, Issue 9, Page 1338-1350, September 2024.
Sexual dimorphism in coadaptive host–parasite relationships are poorly understand. The comparative nature of the presented studied as well as the generalisation of the results for the geographic region sampled makes this study of general interest of ecologists, evolutionary biologists, physiologist and parasitologist, among others.

Host sweet host: Rodent communities support similar ectoparasite diversity regardless of anthropogenic disturbance

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 148, Issue 5, Page 537-552, June 2024.
Abstract Rodents are important hosts for ectoparasites, such as fleas, ticks, and mites, which means they are also important intermediate hosts for many zoonotic diseases. As anthropogenic environments bring humans and rodents into closer contact, an understanding of host–ectoparasite ecology is essential to predict and manage disease spillover risks ...

An unusual finding of a parasitic gamasid mite Macronyssus heteromorphus Dusbábek, Radovsky, 1972 (Mesostigmata: Gamasina: Macronyssidae) in the Trans-Urals [PDF]

, 2019
We present the first record of Macronyssus heteromorphus Dusbábek et Radovsky, 1972 (Mesostigmata: Gamasina: Macronyssidae) in the Trans-Urals. Our record is located 1,500 km northwest from the nearest site of this species’ previous record. The collected

Lizard host abundances and climatic factors explain phylogenetic diversity and prevalence of blood parasites on an oceanic island

Molecular Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 5, March 2024.
Abstract Host abundance might favour the maintenance of a high phylogenetic diversity of some parasites via rapid transmission rates. Blood parasites of insular lizards represent a good model to test this hypothesis because these parasites can be particularly prevalent in islands and host lizards highly abundant. We applied deep amplicon sequencing and

Ectoparasites on bats (Gamasida, Ixodida, Diptera) in Biscay (N lberian peninsula) [PDF]

, 1999
A study on ectoparasites infesting Chiroptera in Biscay (N lberian peninsula) was carried out during a distribution survey of bats. 160 potential hosts were examined and 664 ectoparasites were found, collected manually from living bats by means of ...
