Host Phylogeny, Geographic Overlap, and Roost Sharing Shape Parasite Communities in European Bats

How multitrophic relationships between wildlife communities and their ectoparasitic vectors interact to shape the diversity of vector-borne microorganisms is poorly understood. Nested levels of dependence among microbes, vectors, and vertebrate hosts may have complicated effects on both microbial co...
