Journal ArticleDOI

Host specificity and foraging efficiency in blood-sucking parasite: feeding patterns of the flea Parapulex chephrenis on two species of desert rodents.

TL;DR: The absence of P. chephrenis on G. dasyurus in nature and the decreased foraging efficiency when feeding on this species in the laboratory suggests that some physiological and biochemical differences between hosts can lead to sharp ecological differences in host-parasite relationships.
Journal ArticleDOI

Is a starving host tastier? Reproduction in fleas parasitizing food‐limited rodents

TL;DR: The results suggest nutritional and/or energetic cost of host resistance, measured as host-mediated parasite fitness loss, as well as possible adaptive stress-induced immunosuppression, in fleas parasitizing underfed animals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Parthenogenesis through the ice ages: A biogeographic analysis of Caucasian rock lizards (genus Darevskia).

TL;DR: Ecological niche models identify the region where hybridization events leading to the formation of D. unisexualis took place, namely in the northeast of the current distribution, and suggest that the sexual D. raddei might have undergone a habitat shift between the Last Interglacial and the Last Glacial Maximum.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hybrids of Darevskia valentini, D. armeniaca and D. unisexualis from a sympatric population in Armenia

TL;DR: The long-term monitoring has showed an increasing birth rate of triploid hybrids in this mixed population of rock lizard species Darevskia, and the frequency of captured males with fully developed reproductive systems and presumably fertile females also increased significantly.
