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 …

Climate change is altering fire regimes. As fire regimes change, it is important to understand
how mammals respond to these altered post-fire landscapes. Because fires vary in size …

Recognizing patterns of parasite distribution among wildlife hosts is of major importance due
to growing risk of transmission of zoonotic diseases to humans. Thus, sex-dependent …

We investigated abundance and prevalence of ticks and fleas infesting urban populations of
two species of hedgehogs: the northern white-breasted hedgehog (Erinaceus roumanicus) …

Mast seeding causes strong fluctuations in populations of forest animals. Thus, this
phenomenon can be used as a natural experiment to examine how variation in host …

A new species of Heligmosomoides Hall, 1916 is proposed for nematodes collected from
deer mice, Peromyscus maniculatus, in western Canada. The unequivocal diagnostic …

With the intensity and frequency of wildfires increasing rapidly, the need to study the
ecological effects of these wildfires is also growing. An understudied aspect of fire ecology is …

The goal of parasite epidemiologists is to understand the factors that determine host
infection levels. Potential infection determinants exist at many scales, including spatial and …

Quantifying the impacts of parasitism on a host can be arduous and is generally
understudied for ectoparasites, with known works being either laboratory‐focused …
