| new species of flea (siphonaptera: pulicidae) from spain. | the male holotype and female allotype of echidnophaga iberica ribeiro, lucientes, osacar & calvete, a new species of rabbit flea from the zaragoza area, northeastern spain, is described on the basis of examination of a type series of six males and 13 females. similarities of the new species with other species of the genus echidnophaga are discussed and a key to identification of the four known mediterranean species of the genus is provided. | 1994 | 7815402 |
| seasonal abundance of fleas (siphonaptera: pulicidae, ceratophyllidae) on wild rabbits in a semiarid area of northeastern spain. | this paper reports the annual dynamics of wild rabbit fleas in a study site located in the middle ebro valley, northeastern spain. fleas collected directly from wild rabbits included the species spilopsyllus cuniculi (dale), xenopsylla cunicularis (smit), echidnophaga iberica (ribeiro, lucientes, osácar, and calvete), caenopsylla laptevi (beaucournu, gil-collado and gilot), and pulex irritans (l.). monthly collections of adult and larval fleas made from within the first meter of selected burrow ... | 2001 | 11372966 |
| abiotic factors influencing the ecology of wild rabbit fleas in north-eastern spain. | during 1992, the population dynamics of rabbit fleas were compared at two sites in north-eastern spain. the sites differed mainly in terms of annual rainfall and soil type. all flea species showed seasonal cycles of abundance, although peaks in numbers occurred at different times, reflecting their specific adaptations for coping with climatic variables. adult spilopsyllus cuniculi (dale) (siphonaptera: pulicidae) were found largely parasitizing rabbits in spring and adult caenopsylla laptevi (be ... | 2001 | 11434549 |
