Host‐specific associations affect the microbiome of Philornis downsi, an introduced parasite to the Galápagos Islands

Molecular Ecology, 2017
AbstractThe composition and diversity of bacteria forming the microbiome of parasitic organisms have implications for differential host pathogenicity and host–parasite co‐evolutionary interactions. The microbiome of pathogens can therefore have consequences that are relevant for managing disease prevalence and impact on affected hosts.

Unraveling the mating secrets of the invasive parasitic fly Philornis downsi

Behaviour
Abstract Understanding the reproductive behaviour of invasive species is crucial for developing control techniques. This study investigated the mating behaviour and reproduction of Philornis downsi , an invasive parasitic fly that is threatening the survival of endemic birds

Shifting microbiomes complement life stage transitions and diet of the bird parasite Philornis downsi from the Galapagos Islands

Environmental Microbiology, 2021
Summary Domestication disconnects an animal from its natural environment and diet, imposing changes in the attendant microbial community. We examine these changes in Philornis downsi (Muscidae), an invasive parasitic fly of land birds in the Galapagos Islands.

First record of the avian ectoparasite Philornis downsi Dodge & Aitken, 1968 (Diptera: Muscidae) in Argentina

Systematic Parasitology, 2011
Species of Philornis Meinert, 1890 (Diptera, Muscidae) are Neotropical dipterans that include species with parasitic larvae which feed on nestling birds. To date, all Philornis species that have been recorded from Argentina have parasitic subcutaneous larvae.

The effect of Philornis downsi in the reproductive success of the Little Vermilion Flycatcher on the Isabela Island – Galápagos

2018
Several bird species endemic to the Galápagos Islands have declined rapidly during the last decades, among them the Vermilion Flycatchers (Pyrocephalus dubius and Pyrocephalus nanus). These two species have been recently elevated to full status based on mitochondrial evidence. P. dubius, is possibly extirpated in its natural range and P.

Effects of the introduced parasite Philornis downsi on nestling growth and mortality in the medium ground finch (Geospiza fortis)

Biological Conservation, 2008
Invasive species have the potential to detrimentally affect native ecosystems by out competing or directly preying upon native organisms, and have been implicated in the extinction of endemic populations. One potentially devastating introduced species in the Galapagos Islands is the parasitic fly Philornis downsi. As larvae, P.
