Addenda to the insects found in birds’ nests from the Neotropical Region and Neotropical immigrants in the Nearctic Region, with a discussion of the probable transmission mechanism of Ornithocoris toledoi (Hemiptera: Cimicidae) [PDF]
, 2012 The present work adds some records to the insect fauna in birds’ nests from the Neotropical Region and Neotropical immigrants in the Nearctic Region. Unpublished records of Triatominae (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) prior to 2005 are included here, especially ...

Elevational Patterns of Blowfly Parasitism in Two Hole Nesting Avian Species [PDF]
, 2021 Climate change is predicted to cause shifts in parasite distributions, leading to encounters with new hosts. Mountains offer a natural experimental background to study how parasite distri‐ butions vary across climatic gradients.

Parasitology, 2006 The fly, Philornis downsi Dodge & Aitken, was first collected in 1964 on the Galápagos Islands and is now widespread across the archipelago. Virtually nothing is known about the behaviour and ecology of the fly as well as for the genus in general. Here, we describe all larval instars for the first time, and discuss infection intensity and impacts of ...

Gizzard contents of the Smooth-billed Ani Crotophaga ani in Santa Cruz, Galapagos Islands, Ecuador [PDF]
, 2016 The Smooth-billed Ani Crotophaga ani was introduced to the Galapagos archipelago in the 1960s, since when its population has grown significantly. We studied the dietary items in the gizzards of 56 anis sampled on the island of Santa Cruz. We confirmed that

The Ecology and Dispersal of The Avian Vampire Fly in Its Native and invasive Ranges [PDF]
, 2022 Invasive species are considered a leading threat to global biodiversity. There are three major steps in a successful invasion: 1. A species arrives to a non-native location 2. It establishes a breeding population 3.

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

Personality in the parasitic avian vampire fly (Philornis downsi)
BehaviourAbstract Personality, i.e., consistent and repeatable differences in behaviour between individuals, has been documented and studied across taxa. However, relatively little research attention has been given to personality in invertebrates, particularly in parasitic species. The avian vampire fly

Are blood haemoglobin concentrations a reliable indicator of parasitism and individual condition in New Holland honeyeaters (Phylidonyris novaehollandiae)? [PDF]
, 2016 Across avian species, total blood haemoglobin concentration (BHC) is the most important determinant of oxygen-carrying capacity, and most accurately reflects the potential for the bird to satisfy its oxygen requirements.
