how do ectoparasitic nycteribiids locate their bat hosts?	nycteribiids (diptera: nycteribiidae) are specific haematophagous ectoparasites of bats, which spend nearly all their adult lives on hosts. however, females have to leave bats to deposit their larva on the walls of the roosts, where they later emerge as adult flies. nycteribiids had thus to evolve efficient sensorial mechanisms to locate hosts from a distance. we studied the sensory cues involved in this process, experimentally testing the role of specific host odours, and general cues such as c ...	2008	18664305
checklist of host associations of european bat flies (diptera: nycteribiidae, streblidae).	bat flies are obligate blood-sucking ectoparasites of bats. they are divided into two families: nycteribiidae and streblidae. europe has 17 species of bat flies and 45 species of bats (mammalia: chiroptera). this checklist is based on both published records and our own field data and provides updated information on all associations between bat flies and their hosts in europe. the host-parasite association between basilia italica theodor and plecotus auritus (linnaeus) is reported for the first t ...	2016	27988583
