Life‐stage and sex influence Philornis ectoparasitism in a Neotropical woodpecker Melanerpes striatus with essential male parental care

Ibis, Volume 165, Issue 4, Page 1235-1250, October 2023., 2023
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

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 5, Issue 2, Page 163-168, March 2023., 2023
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 ...

Functional traits and foraging behaviour: Avian vampire fly larvae change the beak and fitness of their Darwin's finch hosts

Functional Ecology, Volume 36, Issue 7, Page 1806-1817, July 2022., 2022
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 ...

Top‐down cascading effects of seed‐feeding beetles and their parasitoids on plants and leaf herbivores

Functional Ecology, Volume 36, Issue 6, Page 1500-1512, June 2022., 2022
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

Biotropica, Volume 52, Issue 3, Page 488-501, May 2020., 2020
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.

Parasitismo intestinal y tuberculosis

Revista de la Facultad de Medicina, 2017
Introducción.La tuberculosis es coendémica en áreas con alta prevalencia de parasitismo intestinal. Se ha sugerido que, en pacientes con tuberculosis latente, la parasitosis intestinal por helmintos puede desencadenar progresión hacia la forma pulmonar activa, pero esta relación es controversial.Objetivo.

Desarrollo de un modelo de predicción del estado larval en Spodoptera frugiperda y hallazgo de Apanteles sp. como su parasitoide, colectados en el cultivo del higo (Ficus carica)

Tecnología en Marcha, 2015
S. frugiperda es un insecto polífago, voraz, que forma grandes poblaciones y tiene una alta tasa de dispersión, por lo que esta especie se considerada una plaga extremadamente peligrosa, siendo una de las más destructivas de América.
