A global parasite conservation plan
Found throughout the tree of life and in every ecosystem, parasites are some of the most
diverse, ecologically important animals on Earth—but in almost all cases, the least protected …

Bats, bat flies, and fungi: a case of hyperparasitism
Bats are parasitized by numerous lineages of arthropods, of which bat flies (Diptera,
Nycteribiidae and Streblidae) are the most conspicuous. Bat flies themselves can be …

Phylogenetic and ecological factors impact the gut microbiota of two Neotropical primate species
Recent studies suggest that variation in diet across time and space results in changes in the
mammalian gut microbiota. This variation may ultimately impact host ecology by altering …

Local host-tick coextinction in neotropical forest fragments
Ticks are obligatory parasites with complex life cycles that often depend on larger bodied
vertebrates as final hosts. These traits make them particularly sensitive to local coextinction …

The influence of host body size and food guild on prevalence and mean intensity of chewing lice (Phthiraptera) on birds in southern China
ABSTRACT Chewing lice (Insecta: Phthiraptera) are abundant ectoparasites of birds and
mammals. They are adapted to life in the plumage or pelage of their hosts and virtually …
