Ectoparasite Diversity and Infection Burden on Two Sympatric Bat Species, <i>Myotis lucifugus</i> and <i>M. septentrionalis</i> (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae). [PDF]
Ecol EvolEctoparasite community diversity is similar between two endangered bat species in Atlantic Canada. Ectoparasite burden of the two most common ectoparasites varies between bat species in conjunction with their behavior and roosting differences. ABSTRACT Parasites are an abundant and diverse group of organisms that are often excluded from biodiversity ...
