Unconventional support for a raptorial niche division between Australaves and Afroaves: The distribution of helminths

Original language description

Deep evolutionary relationships within raptorial niche have recently been challenged. Little is known as to whether birds of the raptorial niche share congruent or host-switching communities of parasites. Here, we analyzed the helminth component communities associated with birds of prey and owls. From 1962 to 2015, we examined 1727 birds of prey and owls in Czechia, and we provide a meta-analysis based on the available literature. Both the analysis of newly examined birds as well as the meta-analysis of previous studies suggested low similarities in the helminth component communities in Strigiformes relative to those in Accipitriformes (Sorensen similarity indices 0.380 in Czechia and 0.324 worldwide) or Falconiformes (0.341 and 0.328), as well as low similarities in the helminth component communities in Falconiformes to those in Accipitriformes (0.366 and 0.413). Globally, 59.6% of helminth species found in Accipitriformes, 39.5% of those in Falconiformes and 38.3% of those in Strigiformes were obligate specialists that were limited to a single examined bird order. Another 11.5%, 12.8% and 8.3% of species had core hosts in only a single order. Only five helminth species infected all three bird orders at a similar prevalence. The differences in prevalence cannot be explained by differences in food composition. We provide detailed information on the prevalence, seasonality, age- and sex-specificity, intensity and lethality of helminth infections. In conclusion, we provide the first systematically collected evidence on the congruence of the helminth distribution and phylogeny of the raptorial niche, which is consistent with its split into Australaves and Afroaves.
