• Philornis downsi parasitism is the primary cause of nestling mortality in the critically endangered Darwin’s medium tree finch (Camarhynchus pauper) (2010, background): “downsi parasites are found in nests of larger-bodied Darwin’s finch species that build larger nests, possibly because they provide greater resources for developing larvae (Dudaniec et al. 2007; Kleindorfer and Dudaniec 2009).”
