Invasion of an Avian Nest Parasite, Philornis downsi, to the Galapagos Islands: Colonization History, Adaptations to Novel Ecosystems, and Conservation Challenges

2017
This chapter discusses the invasion of an avian nest fly, Philornis downsi, to the Galapagos Islands, its interactions with novel bird hosts, and the strategies that are being implemented to protect threatened, endemic bird species. Philornis downsi was first recorded in the Galapagos less than 60 years ago and is the first bird parasite with parasitic
