Abstract We characterized historical fire regimes in Pinus palustris (longleaf pine) forests of southern Mississippi with regard to global and regional coupled climate systems (e.g., El Niño–Southern Oscillation) and past human activity. The composite fire chronology spanned 1756–2013 with 132 individual scars representing 89 separate fire events.

Intradermal infections by chigger mites (Hannemania spp.) in the Andean frog Telmatobius atacamensis (Anura, Telmatobiidae) [PDF]
Here, we report the infection of adults of the Andean frog Telmatobius atacamensis (Anura, Telmatobiidae) by leeuwenhoekiid mites of the genus Hannemania and describe the histological characteristics of the normal and infected skin and the mite's larval ...

Background Ectoparasitic infections are of particular interest for endangered wildlife, as ectoparasites are potential vectors for inter- and intraspecific pathogen transmission and may be indicators to assess the health status of endangered populations.

Rickettsia spp. and Anaplasmataceae in Ticks From Domestic Animals in Northern Colombia
ABSTRACT Introduction Tick‐borne diseases have a significant impact on public and animal health and represent a considerable financial burden on livestock farming. However, in many regions of Latin America, comprehensive epidemiological data, including species identification, geographical distribution and molecular profiling of ticks and their ...

Bats play a major role in the circulation of zoonotic pathogens. Mites (Macronyssidae and Spinturnicidae) may facilitate the long‐term maintenance (and even local recurrence) of Bartonella‐infestations. Mites may transmit several distinct Bartonella strains, which cluster phylogenetically close to Bartonella species known for their zoonotic role ...

Abstract Rodents are important hosts for ectoparasites, such as fleas, ticks, and mites, which means they are also important intermediate hosts for many zoonotic diseases. As anthropogenic environments bring humans and rodents into closer contact, an understanding of host–ectoparasite ecology is essential to predict and manage disease spillover risks ...

Concomitant infection with more than one parasite species is the rule in nature. Since co-infecting parasites are exploiting the same host, interspecific interactions at the infracommunity level are likely. The nature of such interactions can be expected

The impact of urbanisation on chipmunks, arboreal and flying squirrels: a global systematic review
Abstract The current, rapid urbanisation process impacts global biodiversity and can be a driver for phenotypic changes in mammals that persist in cities. Animals display different response strategies in urban environments compared to natural areas, but patterns may differ among species. To better comprehend this process, we focused on a limited number

How to enhance the acceptability of insects food—A review
Exploring new food sources is very tempting for achieving zero hunger of the world and edible insects (EIs) may be one of the ways to solve human protein deficiency. However, there is still largely rejection in various parts of the world. In this review, we systematically summarize the factors behind rejection of EIs as well as ways to improve the ...
