Specialist versus generalist parasites: the interactions between host diversity, environment and geographic barriers in avian malaria
(Elsevier Ltd, 2021)
© 2021 Australian Society for ParasitologyThe specialist versus generalist strategies of hemoparasites in relation to their avian host, as well as environmental factors, can influence their prevalence, diversity and ...
Avian haemosporidian and latitudinal gradients: Opportunities and challenges in the Southern Cone of America
(Asociacion Espanola de Ecologia Terrestre, 2020)
Latitudinal diversity gradients (LDG) explain the distribution and species richness in free-living organisms of multiple taxa, where richness increases toward low latitudes. However, parasites have shown inconsistencies ...
Haemosporidian parasites prevalence associated with physical conditioning of avian species from the Brazilian Cerrado
(Universidade Federal de Santa Maria, 2022)
Aspects of the life cycle of the avian parasite Philornis torquans (Diptera: Muscidae) under laboratory rearing conditions
(Entomological Society of Canada, 2018-03)
The life cycle of the avian parasitic flies Philornis Meinert (Diptera: Muscidae) is poorly known, limiting the understanding of the ecology of these flies, including interactions with their hosts. We provide data on length ...
Apparent absence of blood parasites in the Patagonian seabird community: is it related to the marine environment?
(Waterbird Society, 2001-05)
The geographic and specific distribution of avian Haematozoa is poorly understood and much basic information is still needed. Studies of blood parasites in avian communities are scarce despite of their potential for ...
Additive negative effects of Philornis nest parasitism on small and declining Neotropical bird populations
(Elsevier, 2018-09)
The declining-population paradigm holds that small populations are particularly vulnerable to anthropogenic influences such as habitat destruction, pollution and species introductions. While the effects of particular ...
Avian host composition, local speciation and dispersal drive the regional assembly of avian malaria parasites in South American birds
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2019-05)
Identifying the ecological factors that shape parasite distributions remains a central goal in disease ecology. These factors include dispersal capability, environmental filters and geographic distance. Using 520 haemosporidian ...
