Gangoso L, Viana D, Dokter A, Shamoun-Baranes J, Figuerola J, Barbosa S, et al.
J Anim Ecol . 2021 Jan; 89(11):2631-2643. PMID: 33439490
Large-scale environmental forces can influence biodiversity at different levels of biological organization. Climate, in particular, is often associated with species distributions and diversity gradients. However, its mechanistic link to population...

Garcia-Alfonso M, van Overveld T, Gangoso L, Serrano D, Donazar J
Animals (Basel) . 2020 Nov; 10(11). PMID: 33207713
Recent changes in European legislation have legalized the abandonment of carcasses around livestock farms, but our understanding of how vultures exploit these semi-predictable food sources is still very limited. For...

Diez-Fernandez A, Martinez-de la Puente J, Gangoso L, Lopez P, Soriguer R, Martin J, et al.
Int J Parasitol . 2020 Jun; 50(8):569-575. PMID: 32505648
Parasites can manipulate their hosts to increase their transmission success. Avian malaria parasites (Plasmodium) are thought to alter the cues such as host odour, used by host-seeking mosquitoes. Bird odour...

Donazar J, Barbosa J, Garcia-Alfonso M, van Overveld T, Gangoso L, De La Riva M
Ecol Appl . 2020 Mar; 30(6):e02125. PMID: 32167643
Individual traits such as body mass can serve as early warning signals of changes in the fitness prospects of animal populations facing environmental impacts. Here, taking advantage of a 19-yr...

Gutierrez-Lopez R, Martinez-de la Puente J, Gangoso L, Soriguer R, Figuerola J
Parasitology . 2020 Jan; 147(4):441-447. PMID: 31965951
Factors such as the particular combination of parasite-mosquito species, their co-evolutionary history and the host's parasite load greatly affect parasite transmission. However, the importance of these factors in the epidemiology...

Gutierrez-Lopez R, Martinez-de la Puente J, Gangoso L, Yan J, Soriguer R, Figuerola J
Sci Rep . 2019 Jun; 9(1):8782. PMID: 31217438
Plasmodium transmission success depends upon the trade-off between the use of host resources to favour parasite reproduction and the negative effects on host health, which can be mediated by infection...

Gangoso L, Figuerola J
Behav Ecol . 2019 Jun; 30(3):763-769. PMID: 31210721
Morph-specific mate choice has been proposed as one of the evolutionary mechanisms that contribute to the maintenance of variation in color polymorphic systems. Coloration usually covaries with other phenotypic traits...

Gutierrez-Lopez R, Martinez-de la Puente J, Gangoso L, Soriguer R, Figuerola J
Parasit Vectors . 2019 Mar; 12(1):87. PMID: 30867014
Background: The transmission of mosquito-borne pathogens is strongly influenced by the contact rates between mosquitoes and susceptible hosts. The biting rates of mosquitoes depend on different factors including the mosquito...

Gangoso L, Gutierrez-Lopez R, Martinez-de la Puente J, Figuerola J
Mol Ecol . 2019 Feb; 28(7):1812-1825. PMID: 30710395
Host shifts are widespread among avian haemosporidians, although the success of transmission depends upon parasite-host and parasite-vector compatibility. Insular avifaunas are typically characterized by a low prevalence and diversity of...

Gutierrez-Lopez R, Bialosuknia S, Ciota A, Montalvo T, Martinez-de la Puente J, Gangoso L, et al.
Emerg Infect Dis . 2019 Jan; 25(2):346-348. PMID: 30666939
We assessed the vector competence of Aedes caspius and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes in Spain for the transmission of Zika virus. Whereas Ae. albopictus mosquitoes were a competent vector, Ae. caspius...
