FeatherMites team
FeatherMites is a group created by Roger Jovani where 30+ European researchers have come together to share our data on the prevalence and abundance of feather mites on birds: 75,944 individual birds sampled from 119 bird species (ca. 1.8 million mites counted). We have already published two studies: one about the nature of bird-feather mites association, and another on the repeatability of feather mite intensity and prevalence between bird species If you have this kind of data you are more than welcome to join the group (jovani@ebd.csic.es).
