Cospeciation between host-parasite species is generally thought to result in mirror-image
congruent phylogenies. Incongruence can be explained by mechanisms such as host …

Argas vespertilionis is a geographically widespread haematophagous ectoparasite species
of bats in the Old World, with a suspected role in the transmission of Babesia vesperuginis …

Host-parasite relationships between the Daubenton's bat, Myotis daubentonii Kuhl, 1817
(Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae), and its haematophagous ectoparasite, the mite Spinturnix …

Movements and spatial distribution of host populations are expected to shape the genetic
structure of their parasite populations. Comparing the genetic patterns of both interacting …

Twenty-two previously described species and four undescribed species of bat wing
parasites in the genus Periglischrus (Spinturnicidae) were analysed from a new …

Abstract Information about the population genetic structures of parasites is important for an
understanding of parasite transmission pathways and ultimately the co‐evolution with their …

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 …

Members of the family Cimicidae (Heteroptera) are obligate haematophagous ectoparasites.
The Cimex pipistrelli species group parasitizes on bats, the likely ancestral hosts of the …

The 16 species of bats that occur in the British Isles are all protected under current
legislation, and their conservation is the subject of much scientific research and public …

In parasites, host specificity may result either from restricted dispersal capacity or from fixed
coevolutionary host-parasite adaptations. Knowledge of those proximal mechanisms …
