The effects of Dipteran ectoparasitism on the growth and development of nestlings of the pearly-eyed thrasher (Margarops fuscatus) in the Luquillo Mountains, Puerto Rico [PDF]
, 1983 "In a rain forest population of the Pearly-eyed Thrasher instances of warble fly parasitism were found to be high. An average of 96.7% of all nests and 97.0% of all nestlings was parasitized during the 1981-82 breeding seasons. Almost 100% of the sampled
