The effect of bot fly larvae on reproduction in white-footed mice, Peromyscus leucopus
(American Midland Naturalist, 1979-01)The effect of bot fly larvae on reproduction in white-footed mice (Peromyscus leucopus noveboracensis) was determined from a sample of 1050 mice that were snap-trapped over a 2-year period in E-central Minnesota. Bot fly ... -
Subcutaneous and cutaneous melanins in Rhabdomys: complementary ultraviolet radiation shields
(Journal of Mammalogy, 1982-02)We describe the pigmented tissue layer covering the skull of Rhabdomys pumilio and test the hypotheses that it is melanin and that it functions in absorption of ultraviolet solar radiation. The parietals were covered by a ... -

Do bot flies, Cuterebra (Diptera: Cuterebridae), emasculate their hosts?
(Journal of Medical Entomology, 1981-07-31)Asa Fitch, in his description of a new species of Cuterebra that he named, "emasculator," was the first to suggest that bot flies castrated their mammalian hosts. In recent years, several major review papers and parasitology ... -
