Transport of bugs of the genus Cimex (Heteroptera: Cimicidae) by bats in western Palaearctic

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The study of the dispersal mechanisms of organisms is key to understanding their ecology and diversity. The dispersal of parasites is usually mediated by their host. Cimicidae (Heteroptera) is a family of haematophagous ectoparasites for whom bats are the most common and original host. Cimicids spend most of their time in the bat roost, usually only attaching themselves to the body of their host to feed. Distances between bat roosts are too great for the bugs to cross so their transmissions between themare exclusively passive. In our study we present records of bugs found on bats outside roosts. Since adult bugs are more likely to start a new infestation, their high prevalence among these records suggests that the bugs intentionally remain attached totheir host in order to disperse, rather than accidentally leaving the roost while feeding. The vast majority of the records come from the genus Nyctalus and some from the genus Pipistrellus, whilst only single findings come from other sp
