Host, vector, and parasite dynamics: exploring intrinsic and extrinsic factors shaping tick‐borne filarial nematode transmission

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tick‐borne filarial nematodes are a complex and understudied group of parasites that rely on ticks for transmission in vertebrates. This review examines how intrinsic and extrinsic factors may influence the successful transmission of filarial nematodes in tick vectors, drawing insights from extensively studied haematophagous dipteran vector ...

Molecular Survey on Leishmania Infantum Infection in Red Foxes (Vulpes Vulpes) From Romania

Bulletin of University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine Cluj-Napoca: Veterinary Medicine, 2017
Leishmania spp. (Kinetoplastida, Trypanosomatidae) are parasitic protozoans transmitted by sand flies to animals and humans. In Europe, the predominant species is Leishmania infantum, the agent of canine leishmaniasis (CanL) and of visceral (VL) and ...

Updates on the Neoserica vulpes group (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae, Melolonthinae, Sericini): new species and records

European Journal of Taxonomy, 2023
Here, I describe four new species of the Neoserica vulpes species group: Neoserica daxue sp. nov., N. mianningana sp. nov., N. myanmarensis sp. nov., and N. yanyuan sp. nov. Genitalia and habitus of the new species are illustrated. Additional records of

Experimental Assessment of the Effects of Substrate Choice on the Duration of Chemical Signals in Fecal Scent‐Marks of Free‐Ranging Iberian Wolves

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chemical communication, typically based on feces, urine, and glandular secretions, often deposited as substrate scent marks, plays a key role in social organization and communication among many mammals, especially carnivores. This study assesses experimentally whether the type of substrate chosen for fecal deposition and the temperature ...

Indirect effects of fast‐growing urban development on wildlife in a coastal protected area of Costa Rica

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We studied the effects of urban growth on wildlife near Parque Nacional Marino las Baulas, Costa Rica. Since 1991, buildings increased 1007%, mainly in the buffer zone. We identified eight native species extracting garbage from containers, with raccoons (Procyon lotor) comprising most detections (84%), and four other species being potential sea turtle ...

UAVs unveil the role of small scale vegetation structure on wader nest survival

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
In this study, we combine high‐resolution vegetation structural metrics derived from unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) imagery with on‐field wader nest survival monitoring. We show that the immediate vegetation height and heterogeneity within a 2‐meter buffer surrounding the clutch of the recorded ground‐nesting wader species positively influenced its ...

Sexual size dimorphism in the skull of the Norwegian red fox Vulpes vulpes L.

Fauna Norvegica, 1993
Sexual dimorphism in 8 skull dimensions of 116 Norwegian Red Foxes Vulpes vulpes averaged 4.6% (range 3.9 - 6.7%), with males significantly larger in all measurements. A relatively large overlap between the sexes was found, and only 73% of the specimens
