Notas sobre la familia Loranthaceae y el parasitismo secundario
La in vasión de Psittacanthus calyculatns (D. C.) Don., Phoradendron purpusi Trel. y Strulanthus densiflorus por las tres especies de lorantáceas mencionadas al respecto, nos hacen ver que aunque existe cierta selectividad hacia el hospedero, la ...

Genome-Wide Identification, Characterization, and Comparative Analysis of NLR Resistance Genes in Coffea spp. [PDF]
The largest family of disease resistance genes in plants are nucleotide-binding site leucine-rich repeat genes (NLRs). The products of these genes are responsible for recognizing avirulence proteins (Avr) of phytopathogens and triggering specific defense

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 ...

Prosopanche: A remarkable genus of parasitic plants
Prosopanche is a remarkable yet poorly known genus of parasitic plants. We provide an up‐to‐date revision of the current state of understanding of Prosopanche, including taxonomy, biogeography, plant–pollinator ecology and host–parasite interactions. This Flora Obscura article will deliver this extraordinary plant genus to the attention of the wider ...

Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The avian beak is a key morphological trait used for foraging. If parasites alter beak shape, we may expect changes in host foraging behaviour. Larvae of the avian vampire fly Philornis downsi cause naris enlargement in Darwin's finch nestlings when first and second ...

Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract When feeding on a plant, herbivorous insects alter the quality of the plant as a food source. This affects other organisms interacting with the same plant. These so‐called ‘plant‐mediated interactions’ can be altered by parasitoids that attack the herbivores.

Parasitization of bats by bat flies (Streblidae) in fragmented habitats
Abstract Parasites represent a large fraction of the world's biodiversity. They control host population sizes and contribute to ecosystem functioning. However, surveys on species diversity rarely include parasitic species. Bats often present traits favoring parasite diversity, such as large home ranges, long life spans, and large colonies.
