• Gender-biased parasitism in small mammals: patterns, mechanisms, consequences (2012, background): “We already mentioned the study of Matthee et al. (2010) on ticks, mites, fl eas and lice exploiting R. pumilio in several localities in South Africa.”
• Parasite removal increases reproductive success in a social African ground squirrel (2010, methodology): “We quantified ectoparasites monthly for each squirrel by combing with a metal flea comb using 3 strokes on each plane of the back (left, middle, and right), from the shoulders to the base of the tail (Scantlebury et al. 2007; Hillegass et al. 2008).”
