  • Nistkästen Als Lebensraum Für Insekten, Besonders Fliegen Und Ihre Schlupfwespen
    Vogelwarte 46, 2008: 195 – 205 © DO-G, IfV, MPG 2008 Nistkästen als Lebensraum für Insekten, besonders Fliegen und ihre Schlupfwespen Rudolf Abraham & Ralph S. Peters Abraham R & RS Peters 2008: Nestboxes as habitat for insects, especially for flies and their parasitoids. Vogelwarte 46: 195 – 205. The insect fauna from about 500 nest boxes was investigated after the birds had left the nests. The insects were collected out of the nest material or were captured with an emergence trap. All species found belong to the known guilds: Blood sucking parasites, saprophagous species, predators or parasitoids. The foodweb of the cyclorrhaphous flies and their parasitoids is shown as a part of the choriocoenosis in the nests. 32 species of 10 fly families were found. The bird blow fly Protocalliphora azurea (Calliphoridae) and its parasitoid Nasonia vitripennis (Pteromalidae) are nidicole species. The parasitoid kills about 40% of the blow fly puparia which is an advantage for the birds. A second blow fly P. falcozi was only found in Southern Germany. This species wraps most of the puparia with material of the nest which protects them from parasitism. The unwrapped puparia suffer a similar infestation as P. azurea. Two more parasitoids (Dibrachys cavus and D. lignicola, Pteromalidae) were found in the puparia of two tachinid flies (Triarthria setipennis and Ocytata pallipes) which are parasitoids of the common European earwig (Forficula auricularia, Forficulidae). The food chain earwig → tachinid fly →Dibrachys spp. belongs to another choriocoenosis which describes the fauna of the earwig shelters. It overlaps in the nest box with the choriocoenosis of the nidicole insects.

  • Parasitic Arthropods TICKS
    Parasitic Arthropods TICKS Ticks (Ixodida) are arachnids, typically 3 to 5 mm long, part of the superorder Parasitiformes. Along with mites, they constitute the subclass Acari. Ticks are external parasites, living by feeding on the blood of mammals, birds, and sometimes reptiles and amphibians. Ticks evolved by the Cretaceous period, the most common form of fossilisation being amber immersion. Ticks are widely distributed around the world, especially in warm, humid climates. Almost all ticks belong to one of two major families, the Ixodidae or hard ticks, and the Argasidae or soft ticks. Adults have ovoid or pear-shaped bodies, which become engorged with blood when they feed, and eight legs. In addition to having a hard shield on their dorsal surfaces, hard ticks have a beak-like structure at the front containing the mouthparts, whereas soft ticks have their mouthparts on the underside of their bodies. Both families locate a potential host by odour or from changes in the environment. Ticks have four stages to their lifecycle, namely egg, larva, nymph, and adult. Ixodid ticks have three hosts, taking at least a year to complete their lifecycle. Argasid ticks have up to seven nymphal stages (instars), each one requiring a blood meal. Because of their habit of ingesting blood, ticks are vectors of many diseases that affect humans and other animals. Identification / General characteristics of tick genera (hard and soft ticks) Although most people consider ticks to be either small and red or large and blue, on closer inspection many species are extremely colourful when examined under a stereoscopic microscope.

Scharfl ABSTRACT Banding and censusing large numbers of gull chicks over a 30-year pe­ riod on Great Lakes islands has produced a collection of five individual ticks from two Herring Gull (Larus argentatus) chicks. The tick species, Hema­ physalis ieporispalustris, found on the gulls is commonly found on Snowshoe Hares (Lepus americanus). Although this represents an apparently uncom­ mon record on Herring Gulls, this host could be an important source of aerial vector dispersal during regular cyclic hare/tick population peaks. Populations of the flea, Ceratophyllus lari, have increased rapidly in ground nesting Double-crested Cormorant (Phalacrocorax auritus) colonies from none 16 years ago.

  • Lice, Flies, Mites, and Ticks on Raptors (Accipitriformes, Falconiformes and Strigiformes) in Rescue Centers in Central Italy
    Article Lice, Flies, Mites, and Ticks on Raptors (Accipitriformes, Falconiformes and Strigiformes) in Rescue Centers in Central Italy Riccardo Gherardi 1, Claudia D’Agostino 2 and Stefania Perrucci 1,* 1 Department of Veterinary Science, University of Pisa, 56124 Pisa, Italy; [email protected] 2 Department of Food Safety, Nutrition and Veterinary Public Health, Istituto Superiore di Sanità, 00161 Rome, Italy; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: This study aims to assess the occurrence of external arthropods on deceased raptors in rescue centers in Tuscany, central Italy. The examined diurnal raptors include 17 common buzzards (Buteo buteo), two European honey buzzards (Pernis apivorus), seven sparrowhawks (Accipiter nisus), six common kestrels (Falco tinnunculus), a western osprey (Pandion haliaetus), and a peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus). Nocturnal raptors included seven barn owls (Tyto alba), ten tawny owls (Strix aluco), 22 little owls (Athene noctua) and two scops owls (Otus scops). The skin and the feathers of each animal were examined, and arthropods were collected, fixed, and microscopically identified. In 48 out of the 75 examined birds (64%), at least a single arthropod species was found. Identified arthropods included chewing lice (Degeeriella fulva, D. rufa, Colpocephalum turbinatum, C. apivorus, Nosopon lucidum, N. clayae, Craspedorrhyncus platystomus, Laemobothrion tinnunculi, Kurodaia subpachy- gaster, Strigiphilus cursitans), hippoboscid flies (Ornithomya avicularia), chigger and feather mites (Kramerella lunulata, K. lyra, Kramerella sp., Glaucalges attenuatus, Hieracolichus nisi, Hieracolichus sp., Neotrombicula autumnalis) and ticks (Haemaphysalis sp.). Most of the identified mite, fly and tick Citation: Gherardi, R.; D’Agostino, species are the first records in raptors in Italy.

    * An Annotated Catalog of Primary Types of Siphonaptera in the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution NANCY E. ADAMS and ROBERT E. LEWIS I SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ZOOLOGY • NUMBER 560 SERIES PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Emphasis upon publication as a means of "diffusing knowledge" was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Folklife Studies Smithsonian Studies in Air and Space Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report the research and collections of its various museums and bureaux or of professional colleagues in the world of science and scholarship. The publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world. Papers or monographs submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Press, subject to its own review for format and style, only through departments of the various Smithsonian museums or bureaux, where the manuscripts are given substantive review.
