• Philornis downsi parasitism is the primary cause of nestling mortality in the critically endangered Darwin’s medium tree finch (Camarhynchus pauper) (2010, methodology): “The number of parasites feeding on each nestling may be diluted in nests with larger broods (Dudaniec et al. 2006), but tree finches generally have small clutch sizes (2–3 eggs) (Kleindorfer 2007), which may increase the intensity of larvae per nestling and intensify larval feeding on fewer…”
