Mixed species flock, nest height, and elevation partially explain avian haemoparasite prevalence in Colombia

The high avian biodiversity present in the Neotropical region offers a great opportunity to explore the ecology of host-parasite relationships. We present a survey of avian haemoparasites in a megadiverse country and explore how parasite prevalences are related to physical and ecological host charac...
