The paper examines how urbanisation and habitat fragmentation affect ant communities, finding that urban areas favor thermophilic and monogynous species, altering community composition and thermal preferences.

This study shows that helminth infection in feral pigeons reduces lice abundance, suggesting inhibitory interactions between parasites, though the mechanism remains unclear.

This study finds that lead exposure increases coccidia abundance in male feral pigeons but not other parasites, suggesting lead may impair host antiparasitic defenses.
