The invasive parasitic fly Philornis downsi is threatening Little Vermilion Flycatchers on the Galápagos Islands

open access: yesAvian Conservation and Ecology, 2022
Populations of several species of birds endemic to the Galápagos Islands have declined during recent decades, including endemic Little Vermilion Flycatchers (Pyrocephalus nanus). Understanding the reasons for the low breeding success of this species is a

The birds and the trees: Avian ecosystem (dis)service perspectives and farmers' willingness to plant native trees in the agricultural landscape of the Galapagos Islands

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 12, Page 3182-3206, December 2025.
Abstract Agricultural landscapes hold great potential for biodiversity conservation; however, this will require finding solutions that work for both people and nature. Increasingly, the conservation community is calling for more cross‐disciplinary research integrating ecological questions with social and behavioural sciences for a more complete and ...

Tri‐trophic ecology of native parasitic nest flies of birds in Tobago

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 8, Issue 1, January 2017., 2017
Abstract Introduced parasites threaten host populations around the world. For example, introduced parasitic nest flies (Philornis downsi) have contributed to the decline of several species of Darwin's finches in the Galápagos Islands. Introduced parasites are thought to have severe effects on native hosts because the hosts do not have effective ...

Taxonomic Shifts in Philornis Larval Behaviour and Rapid Changes in Philornis downsi Dodge & Aitken (Diptera: Muscidae): An Invasive Avian Parasite on the Galápagos Islands

open access: yesLife Cycle and Development of Diptera, 2019
The parasitic larvae of Philornis downsi Dodge & Aitken (Diptera: Muscidae) were first discovered in Darwin’s finch nests on the Galápagos Islands in 1997. Larvae of P.

Competition among invasive and endemic carrion fly species in the Galapagos Islands with implications for biological control risk assessment

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 17, Issue 3, Page 409-418, May 2024.
Introduced fly dominance: The Galapagos necrobiome is dominated by introduced carrion flies, with Peckia chrysostoma as the most abundant species, outcompeting native and endemic species. Endemic fly vulnerability: Endemic and native carrion flies, like Sarothromyiops dasycnemis, face competition and potential displacement by introduced species ...

Host-parasite ecology, behavior and genetics: a review of the introduced fly parasite Philornis downsi and its Darwin’s finch hosts

open access: yes, 2016
Understanding host-parasite interactions requires that the multi-faceted relationships among ecological, behavioral and molecular processes be characterized and integrated.
