Acromyrmex fowleri: a new inquiline social parasite species of leaf-cutting ants from South America, with a discussion of social parasite biogeography in the Neotropical region
(2019-08-01)
Ant inquiline social parasites obligately depend on their hosts for survival and reproduction. Because of their shift from a eusocial to a socially parasitic life history, inquiline social parasites are interesting study ...
How epidemiological patterns shift across populations in an exotic lizard
(2019-11-04)
Several factors influence the dynamics and structure of parasite communities. Our goal was to investigate how the community composition, prevalence and abundance of parasites change across seven populations of the exotic ...
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 ...
Do the Historical Biogeography and Evolutionary History of the Digenean Margotrema spp. across Central Mexico Mirror Those of Their Freshwater Fish Hosts (Goodeinae)?
(Public Library of Science, 2014-07)
Host-parasite systems provide an ideal platform to study evolution at different levels, including codivergence in a historical biogeography context. In this study we aim to describe biogeographic and codivergent patterns ...
Taxonomy, evolution, and biogeography of the rhodniini tribe (Hemiptera: Reduviidae)
(2020-03-01)
The Triatominae subfamily includes 151 extant and three fossil species. Several species can transmit the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease, significantly impacting public health ...
Parasites reveal movement of bats between the New and Old Worlds
(ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCESAN DIEGO, 2012)
The global distribution of bat taxa indicates that the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans are effective barriers to movement between the Old and New Worlds. For instance, one of the major suborders, Yinpterochiroptera, has an ...
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 ...
