Parasites of seabirds: A survey of effects and ecological implications
Parasites are ubiquitous in the environment, and can cause negative effects in their host
species. Importantly, seabirds can be long-lived and cross multiple continents within a single …

DNA barcodes expose unexpected diversity in Canadian mites
Abstract Mites (Arachnida: Acariformes, Parasitiformes) are the most abundant and species‐
rich group of arthropods in soil, but are also diverse in freshwater habitats, on plants, and as …

Avian malaria infections in western European mosquitoes
In the complex life cycle of avian malaria parasites (Plasmodium sp.), we still have a poor
understanding on the vector–parasite relationships. This study described the community of …

The integrative taxonomic approach reveals host specific species in an encyrtid parasitoid species complex
Integrated taxonomy uses evidence from a number of different character types to delimit
species and other natural groupings. While this approach has been advocated recently, and …
