Understanding traits influencing the distribution of genetic diversity has major ecological and
evolutionary implications for host–parasite interactions. The genetic structure of parasites is …

Bats are the second most diverse mammalian group, playing keystone roles in ecosystems
but also act as reservoir hosts for numerous pathogens. Due to their colonial habits which …

Despite their paramount importance in molecular ecology and conservation, genetic
diversity and structure remain challenging to quantify with traditional genotyping methods …

Most vertebrates host a wide variety of haematophagous parasites, which may play an
important role in the transmission of vector-borne microorganisms to hosts. Surveillance is …

Bats are known reservoir hosts for a wide variety of parasites and pathogens, including
bacteria and protozoans. Some of these pathogens are vector‐borne, and although their …

How multitrophic relationships between wildlife communities and their ectoparasitic vectors
interact to shape the diversity of vector-borne microorganisms is poorly understood. Nested …

The Biodiversity and Bioindicators research group (BiBIO), based at the Natural Sciences
Museum of Granollers, has coordinated four long-term faunal monitoring programmes based …

Parasites represent a large fraction of the world's biodiversity. They control host population
sizes and contribute to ecosystem functioning. However, surveys on species diversity rarely …

Bats (order, Chiroptera) account for more than one-fifth of all mammalian species in the
world and are infected by various intra-erythrocytic parasites of the family Plasmodiidae …

The isolation of populations in the Iberian, Italian and Balkan peninsulas during the ice ages
define four main paradigms that explain much of the known distribution of intraspecific …
