TL;DR: The most comprehensive spatially explicit data set available for parasites, projected range shifts in a changing climate, and estimated extinction rates for eight major parasite clades is compiled, finding that ectoparasites (especially ticks) fare disproportionately worse than endopar asites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Parasite prevalence and sample size: misconceptions and solutions
Roger Jovani,José Luis Tella +1 more
TL;DR: Prevalence estimates are often based on small sample sizes because of either low abundance of the hosts or logistical problems associated with their capture or laboratory analysis, so addressing sample size has been a common problem when dealing with prevalence data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Parasite mediated mortality and host immune response explain age-related differences in blood parasitism in birds
TL;DR: The intensity of blood parasites in young pigeons, but not in adults, decreased over time so dramatically that by the time they had become adults their intensities were indistinguishable from that typically seen in adults.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geographical variation in blood parasites in feral pigeons: the role of vectors.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that prevalence of Haemoproteus columbae in feral pigeons Columba livia varied among five near-by populations (range 15%-100%), paralleled by variation in the abundance of its main vector, Pseudolynchia canariensis.
Geographical variation in blood parasites in feral pigeons: the role
TL;DR: Observational and experimental evidence supports the view that vector abundance is the major factor influencing the spatial variation in prevalence of H. columbae in pigeons.
