Variation of parasitism patterns in bats during hibernation: the effect of host species, resources, health status, and hibernation period
T Postawa, Z Nagy - Parasitology Research, 2016 - Springer
During critical periods of food shortage or variable climatic conditions, the choice of an
appropriate host can increase the survival and reproductive performance of parasites. In …

Odonates, gregarines and water mites: why are the same host species infected by both parasites?
JJ Ilvonen, KM Kaunisto, J Suhonen - Ecological Entomology, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
1. Damselflies and dragonflies are widely parasitised insects and numerous studies have
tried to understand this host–parasite relationship. However, most of these studies have …

Sexual and developmental variations of ecto-parasitism in damselflies
The prevalence and intensity of parasitism can have different fitness costs between sexes,
and across species and developmental stages. This variation could arise because of …

[HTML][HTML] Host phenology, geographic range size and regional occurrence explain interspecific variation in damselfly–water mite associations
In this study, we tested which host species' characteristics explain the nature and level of
parasitism for host damselfly (Coenagrionidae)–water mite (Arrenuridae) parasite …

Explaining susceptibility and resistance to a multi-host parasite
Closely related host species are known to show variation in the level of resistance towards
the same or similar parasite species, but this phenomenon is understudied. Such studies are …

Differential water mite parasitism, phenoloxidase activity, and resistance to mites are unrelated across pairs of related damselfly species
Related host species often demonstrate differences in prevalence and/or intensity of
infection by particular parasite species, as well as different levels of resistance to those …

Relative geographic range of sibling species of host damselflies does not reliably predict differential parasitism by water mites
Background One of the main challenges in evolutionary parasitology is to determine the
factors that explain variation among host species in parasitism. In this study, we addressed …
