Abstract Models on climate change have predicted an increase of temperature over the
earth's surface with potential drastic effects on living organisms. We analyzed the …

Simple Summary On a global scale, about 20% of bird species nest in tree cavities, and
many of these species will utilise artificial nestboxes. Homeowners often add nestboxes to …

Mediterranean woodland environments are characterised by high spatial and temporal
heterogeneity, which means the inhabiting species face a wide variety of selective …

Background Avian haemosporidia infect both domestic and wild birds, causing anemia,
acute tissue degeneration, and depopulation in wild birds. Poultry and wild birds have been …

Climate change effects on host–parasite interactions have been poorly studied in arid or
semi-arid habitats. Here, we conducted an experiment aimed to increase the temperature …

Environmental factors, such as elevated temperature, can have varying effects on hosts and
their parasites, which can have consequences for the net outcome of this relationship. The …

Simple Summary Sand Martin populations have declined globally, probably partly because
of the decrease in suitable nesting sites. Therefore, it is important to know the factors …

We explored the potential influence of temperature and precipitation on the abundance of
two nest‐dwelling ectoparasites (blowflies and mites) of Eurasian blue tits (Cyanistes …

The study of host–parasite co‐evolution is a central topic in evolutionary ecology. However,
research is still fragmented and the extent to which parasites influence host life history is …
