CSIC ORCID; Hiraldo, Fernando CSIC ORCID | Fecha de publicación: | 1999 | Editor: | National Academy of Sciences (U.S.) | Citación: | PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 96: 1785- 1789 (1999) | Resumen: | The factors explaining interspecific differences in prevalences of blood parasites in birds are poorly known. We simultaneously assessed 20 social, ecological, life history, and sampling-related variables that could influence hemoparasite prevalences among diurnal birds of prey in Spain. Our results show that multiple factors are responsible for the studied host-parasite association. We confirmed for the first time that prevalence is inversely correlated to the embryonic development period, and thus probably to immune performance, even among closely related birds. Macrohabitat features related to vector availability are also important, prevalences being higher in species breeding in forested habitats. Finally, prevalence is positively correlated with the host's world geographic range. We hypothesize that larger geographic ranges offered more opportunities for host-vector-hemoparasite associations to become established. The results from our multivariate analyses differ from those obtained through univariate ones, showing that all potential factors should be assessed jointly when testing any ecological or evolutionary hypothesis dealing with parasites. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/57883 | DOI: | 10.1073/pnas.96.4.1785 | Identificadores: | doi: 10.1073/pnas.96.4.1785 issn: 0027-8424 |
