Los ácaros de los pájaros son principalmente nocturnos y no son tan parásitos como se pensaba, sino que pueden ser incluso beneficiosos porque se alimentan de hongos y bacterias, entre otras cosas, que dañan y degradan las plumas https://t.co/t9tymBZA8C

#EBDPub What feather mites and the mythological Scottish brownies have in common: they clean up their “houses” at night. 🧹 A new study reveals that feather mites clean bird feathers (and reproduce) during the night. @JovaniLab @Jorge_dona_ @dziquilin

Overall, this study shows the relevance of addressing quantitatively the study of raw bird moult data at the individual and feather levels, i.e. at the final moult phenotype level (14/14)

[JovaniLab @JovaniLab]

We applied nestedness analyses to final moult phenotype variation to discover rules of bird moult. Data: 3909 individuals from 434 passerine species (279 Holarctic, 155 Neotropical). NEW PAPER (J. Avian Biol.) part of Santi Guallar PhD Thesis (1/14) https://t.co/LyaOD35pZe

Which properties make some feathers have a higher priority along the “wish list”? What we found is that more exposed feathers (the ones suffering more abrasion but which are also more visible to signal social information) were the ones more prone to be high the list (13/14)
