      The Patagonian Shelf Large Marine Ecosystem supports high levels of biodiversity and endemism and is one of the most productive marine ecosystems in the world. Despite the important role marine predators play in structuring ...
    • Prevalence and genetic diversity of avian haemosporidian parasites in wild bird species of the order Columbiformes. 

      Schumm, Yvonne R; Bakaloudis, Dimitris; Barboutis, Christos; Cecere, Jacopo G; Eraud, Cyril; Fischer, Dominik; Hering, Jens; Hillerich, Klaus; Lormée, Hervé; Mader, Viktoria; Masello, Juan F; Metzger, Benjamin; Rocha, Gregorio; Spina, Fernando; Quillfeldt, Petra (2021-04-01)
      Diseases can play a role in species decline. Among them, haemosporidian parasites, vector-transmitted protozoan parasites, are known to constitute a risk for different avian species. However, the magnitude of haemosporidian ...
