• Parasite removal increases reproductive success in a social African ground squirrel (2010, result): “This result supports autogrooming as a stimulus-driven response to biting parasites (Hart 2000; Mooring et al. 2004; Hawlena et al. 2008).”
• Gender-biased parasitism in small mammals: patterns, mechanisms, consequences (2012, background): “In addition, Mooring et al. (2004) argued that higher ectoparasite infestation in male ungulates can be related to sexually dimorphic grooming in which breeding males groom less than females.”
• Prophylaxis with resin in wood ants (2008, background): “…effects of parasitism, hosts a positive effect on the host fitness in the presence of have evolved diverse behavioural defences (Hart 1990), such as detecting and avoiding parasites (Christe et al. 1994), removing diseased individuals (Arathi et al. 2006) or grooming (Mooring et al. 2004).”
• Geographical variation in host specificity of fleas (Siphonaptera) parasitic on small mammals: the influence of phylogeny and local environmental conditions (2004, unknown): “species (Mooring et al. 2004).”
