Abstract: The physiological impacts and fitness costs of parasitism by an introduced ectoparasitic fly,Philornis downsi(Muscidae), were studied in nestlings of Darwin's Small Ground Finch,Geospiza fuliginosa(Geospizinae), on the Galápagos Archipelago. Whole blood haemoglobin (Hb) concentration was used to measure host response to ectoparasitism due to ...

The vampire y Philornis downsi is an obligate bird parasite that was introduced into the Galapagos Islands, probably accidentally from mainland Ecuador. Subsequently, the y dispersed to most islands in the archipelago, negatively impacting endemic land-bird populations.

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.

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.
