Insect parasites and parasitoids are a major component of terrestrial food webs. For
parasitoids, categorization is whether feeding activity is located inside or outside its host, if …

This overview of extant Siphonaptera lists 19 families with major hosts and their general
distribution, estimated numbers of genera, species, and subspecies, with a brief taxonomic …

The Quaternary vertebrate paleontology of the Brazilian Intertropical Region is well-known,
but there are only a few publications on bone ichnology. In this paper, we analyzed trace …

The association of vertebrate remains and invertebrate traces, although less studied than
other bioerosion traces, provides important paleoecological information. This report …

The first evidence of parasite-induced bioerosion is reported from large cingulates from the
Middle Miocene La Venta fauna of Colombia. These traces occur primarily on osteoderms in …

Osteoderms are dermal ossifications present in several vertebrates and assemble a
carapace on armadillos. Here we describe ichnotaxonomically two types of bioerosion …

This paper presents pathological lesions in the osteoderms of three extinct pampatheres:
two specimens of the genus Holmesina sp. and one specimen of Pampatherium humboldtii …

The La Guillerma archaeological locality is located in the northeast sector of Buenos Aires
province (Argentina). Two of its sites (LG1 and LG5), dated between ca. 1400-and 600-years …

Armadillos are bitten by several species of flea. Females of the genus Tunga penetrate the
epidermis and when in place are fertilised by males, after which the abdomen swells …
