Metacommunity structure reveals that temperature affects the landscape compositional patterns of avian malaria and related haemosporidian parasites across elevations

Paulina Alvarez-Mendizabal et al.

Summary: The study examined the metacommunity structure of avian haemosporidians in different elevations in Central Veracruz, Mexico, finding that environmental conditions play a more significant role than host-related traits in shaping the parasite assemblages. The research identified a nested pattern of parasite distribution across bird species, with varying levels of turnover observed across elevations, and highlighted the influence of climatic variables on parasite turnover at the habitat level. Environmental filtering was shown to be a key factor in structuring parasite communities at the landscape scale.

LOW PREVALENCE OF HAEMOSPORIDIANS IN BLOOD AND TISSUE SAMPLES FROM HUMMINGBIRDS

A. N. Galvin et al.

Summary: Hummingbirds play a vital role in terrestrial ecosystems and can serve as indicators of ecosystem health due to their high metabolic requirements. This study found a low prevalence of haemosporidians in hummingbirds, possibly due to low susceptibility to insect vectors or parasite incompatibility in these birds.

Sex and nest type influence avian blood parasite prevalence in a high-elevation bird community

Marina D. Rodriguez et al.

Summary: This study provides baseline knowledge of avian haemosporidian parasites in the Colorado Rocky Mountains, estimating prevalence and diversity across 24 bird species. It also highlights differences in prevalence among nesting habits and host species, suggesting potential impacts of climate change on parasite distributions.
