Digging for answers : contributions of density- and frequency-dependent factors on ectoparasite burden in a social mammal

Due to the density-dependent nature of parasite transmission parasites are generally assumed to constrain the evolution of sociality. However, evidence for a correlation between group size and parasite burden is equivocal, ...
The distribution of gastrointestinal parasites in two populations of common mole-rats (Cryptomys hottentotus hottentotus)

Archer, Elizabeth K.; Bennett, Nigel Charles; Junker, Kerstin; Faulkes, Christopher G.; Lutermann, Heike (American Society of Parasitologists, 2017)

The spread of parasites through a host population is based on the variation in behavior and immune function between individuals and is rarely uniform. We studied the gastrointestinal parasites of common mole-rats (Cryptomys ...
Ectoparasite burdens of the common mole-rat (Cryptomys hottentotus hottentotus) from the Cape provinces of South Africa

Archer, Elizabeth K.; Bennett, Nigel Charles; Ueckermann, Edward A.; Lutermann, Heike (Allen Press, 2014-02)
