Recolonization of bat roost by bat bugs (Cimex pipistrelli): could be parasite load a cause of bat roost switching?

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Roost ectoparasites are believed to have a negative impact on fitness their hosts as birds or mammals. Previous studies were mostly focussed on the synchronization between reproduction cycles of ectoparasites and hosts living in infested roosts. Howeverup to date has not been examined, how fast can ectoparasite colonize new, until non-infested roosts and thus increase the impact on the local populations of hosts. The parasite-host model was studied, including bat bugs Cimex pipistrelli and soprano pipistrelles Pipistrellus pygmaeus, where bat behaviour was observed which tended to reduce the parasite load in bat roosts. We investigated i) whether bats change their roosting behaviour when we discontinued synchronization of their reproduction and the life cycle of the bat bugs and ii) how fast and which stages of bat bugs reoccupy cleaned roosts. In a three years field experiment, we removed all bat bugs from six bat boxes in each spring.
