The evolutionary transition to coloniality promotes higher blood parasitism in birds (2002, background): “…for similarities among species because of common ancestry, and thus has long been recognized as a powerful tool for examining an array of ecological hypotheses in a phylogenetic context (e.g. Mùller & Birkhead, 1992; Beauchamp, 1999; Cuervo & Mùller, 1999; Figuerola, 1999; Figuerola & Green, 2001).”
Cross-seasonal effects and the dynamics of waterfowl populations (2014, background): “Long-distance migrants appear to be more exposed, or more susceptible, to parasitic infection (Figuerola & Green 2000).”
Can conditions experienced during migration limit the population levels of birds? (2006, background): “…to contain a greater range of parasites, such as haematozoa, than closely related resident species, a difference, which has been attributed to the exposure of migrants, as they pass through different regions, to a wider range of parasite species (Bennett and Fallis 1960; Figuerola and Green 2000).”
