A new species of Trichobius (Diptera: Streblidae) from Mexico and new record of Paratrichobius americanus

L. Tlapaya-Romero et al.

Summary: A new species of Trichobius is described from specimens collected in Jalisco, Mexico. It is placed within the dugesii group and has distinct characteristics in the chaetotaxy of the thorax and the morphology of the metasternal lobe.

Modularity and specialization in bat-fly interaction networks are remarkably consistent across patches within urbanized landscapes and spatial scales

Gustavo Lima Urbieta et al.

Summary: Research on bat-fly interactions in urbanized landscapes in Brazil found high similarity in interaction patterns and network structures across different Cerrado patches, indicating that human disturbances have minimal impact on these interactions.

Effect of seasonality and microclimate on the variation in bat-fly load (Diptera: Streblidae) in a cave bat assemblage in a dry forest

Liliana Tlapaya-Romero et al.

Summary: Seasonality affects the presence and abundance of animal species by causing fluctuations in resource availability. This study evaluated the impact of seasonality on bat-fly load in a dry forest, finding significant changes in average abundance and infestation intensity in different bat species across seasons. Microclimatic conditions were also observed to have an influence on bat-fly load.

Bat-bat fly interactions in Central Panama: host traits relate to modularity in a highly specialised network

Thomas Hiller et al.

Summary: Network approaches are increasingly popular in studies of species interactions, with bat flies serving as an ideal model system. Research on bats in Central Panama revealed the high host-specificity of bat flies, which could potentially lead to their extinction in changing environments.

New species in the Basilia ferruginea group (Diptera: Nycteribiidae) from Mexico, with additional records of Basilia rondanii

Gustavo Graciolli et al.

Summary: A new species of Basilia from Mexico and additional geographic records of Basilia rondanii are described in the article. The type-specimens of the species were collected on an endemic Mexican vespertilionid bat in the State of Jalisco, with photographs and distribution maps provided for both new species and Basilia rondanii.
