Interference Competition In A Heteromyid Community In The Great Basin Of Nevada, Usa, Cliff A. Lemen, Patricia W. Freeman

Removal experiments with three species of heteromyid rodents were performed during two summers in the Great Basin of Nevada, USA. These experiments were designed to determine the importance of interference competition in these species by quantifying the short-term responses to the removal of one or more of the species. Our results indicate that the removal of a large species (Dipodomys merriami) does have a positive effect on a smaller species with a similar diet (Perognathus longimembris). These results and others presented are consistent with a hypothesis of interference competition. However, while there is short-term increase in …

Ectoparasitism As A Cost Of Coloniality In Cliff Swallows (Hirundo Pyrrhonota), Charles R. Brown, Mary Bomberger Brown
Ectoparasitism As A Cost Of Coloniality In Cliff Swallows (Hirundo Pyrrhonota), Charles R. Brown, Mary Bomberger Brown
School of Natural Resources: Faculty Publications
Colonially nesting Cliff Swallows (Passeriformes: Hirundo pyrrhonota) in southwestern
Nebraska, USA, are commonly parasitized by hematophagous swallow bugs (Hemiptera: Cimicidae:
Oeciacus vicarius) and fleas (Siphonaptera: Ceratophyllidae: Ceratophyllus celsus). We examined to
what degree these ectoparasites represent a cost of coloniality for Cliff Swallows. The number of
swallow bugs per nest increased significantly with Cliff Swallow colony size. Body mass of nestling
swallows at 10 d of age declined significantly as the number of bugs per nestling increased. By fumigating
half of the nests in some colonies, killing the bugs, and leaving half of the nests as nonfumigated …
