Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 93, Issue 8, Page 1003-1021, August 2024.The study shows temporal dynamics of invertebrate succession in cattle dung by a multi‐taxon approach. Functional redundancy was found within groups of beetles and flies important for dung decomposition, suggesting functional stability and resilience in the system.

Estimating pathogen‐spillover risk using host–ectoparasite interactions
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2024.Understanding the interacting factors that lead to pathogen transmission in a zoonotic cycle could help identify novel hosts of pathogens and the patterns that lead to disease emergence. We use parasite ecology, phylogenetics, and geography to predict known and unknown hosts of hantavirus.

Acta Scientiarum: Biological Sciences, 2019 Phthiraptera are lice highly adapted to living as permanent and obligatory ectoparasites of birds and mammals. High infestations by biting lice contribute to the low productivity, loss quality of the eggs, besides weight decrease of chickens.

Australian Veterinary Journal, Volume 102, Issue 3, Page 96-100, March 2024.The subcutaneous parasitic mite Hemimyialges macdonaldi was found in a specimen of the Orange‐bellied Parrot Neophema chrysogaster that died in captivity. A review of the host range and geographic distribution of this mite shows it is cosmopolitan and occurs in a very wide range of birds. It does not appear to be a cause of significant mortality in its

Data supporting a molecular phylogeny of the hyper-diverse genus Brueelia
Data in Brief, 2015 Data is presented in support of a phylogenetic reconstruction of one of the largest, and most poorly understood, groups of lice: the Brueelia-complex (Bush et al., 2015 [1]).

Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand, Volume 54, Issue 1, Page 144-159, February 2024.ABSTRACT Species’ with more limited dispersal and consequently less gene flow are more likely to form new spatially segregated species and thus contribute disproportionally to endemic biota and global species richness. Aotearoa New Zealand has exceptional endemicity, with 52% of its 54,000 named species endemic, including 32%, 39% and 68% for ...

The taxonomy of Brazilian insects vectors of transmissible diseases (1900-2000) - then and now
Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2000 A brief historical overview is given of the most relevant taxonomic studies of insect groups vectors of transmissible diseases in Brazil, from the "heroic" times of the foundation of the Instituto Oswaldo Cruz in Rio de Janeiro up to the present.
