Wing feather mites (Acari: Astigmata) on some Passeriformes (Aves) from state of Parana, Brazil
(Soc Brasileira Ornitologia, 2015-09-01)
Feather mites are the most abundant arthropods found on birds, however, few studies have investigated their ecological associations with their hosts in Brazil. Here, we present a checklist of feather mites on 11 bird species ...
Host diversity outperforms climate as a global driver of symbiont diversity in the bird-feather mite system
(2021-03-01)
Aim: The simultaneous influence of abiotic and biotic factors as main drivers of global species distributions remains poorly understood, especially in host-dependent groups. In this study, we diverge from traditional ...

(Springer, 2018-10)
The tropical fowl mite, Ornithonyssus bursa, is a common avian parasite found on diverse bird species worldwide. In the Neotropical region, O. bursa is present in wild birds, but it may also infect poultry and bite humans. ...
Transferência horizontal, distribuição geográfica, e especiação em ácaros de penas no Brasil (Astigmata)
(Universidade Estadual Paulista (Unesp), 2022-06-13)
A especificidade é um aspecto crucial que governa as interações entre simbiontes e hospedeiros. Geralmente a especificidade está ligada ao potencial de transmissão, à plasticidade adaptativa, e à disponibilidade de hospedeiros ...

Parasite species are important components of biodiversity, as they provide valuable information about host health, evolutionary relationships, population structures, trophic interactions, the existence of environmental ...
Do Shade-Grown Coffee Plantations Pose a Disease Risk for Wild Birds?
(International Association for Ecology and Health, 2013)
Shade-grown coffee plantations are often promoted as a conservation strategy for wild birds. However,
these agro-ecosystems are actively managed for food production, which may alter bird behaviors or interactions that
could ...
