A model of ectoparasitic reproductive strategies is presented. To be successful, an ectoparasite must either disperse to find a new host or stay on one host and produce its progeny during the lifetime of the host. Dispersion is facilitated by utilizing many host species and by waiting for the next host; these strategies prolong the generation time. Staying on the host is facilitated by shortening the generation time. Ectoparasites that repeatedly move on and off hosts are thus expected to have wide host preference spectra and long generation times while sedentary ectoparasites are expected to have narrow host preference spectra and short generation times. Population parameters of 27 ectoparasitic species (fleas, lice, mesostigmatic mites, and one ixodid tick species) on cyclic small mammal populations were investigated and a cluster analysis was performed. Three population parameters proved to be important and could be used to form a base for life-trait grouping of the ectoparasites: (i) the host preference spectra; (ii) the time lag between host and parasite peak abundance; and (iii) the intensity of the infestation. Three groups of ectoparasitic life traits were discernible: (i) species with narrow host preference spectra, no time lag (short ectoparasitic generation time), and major infestation: the Anoplura\–Laelapinae group; (ii) species with moderate to wide host preference spectra, 1-year time lag (long parasitic generation time), and minor infestation: the Siphonaptera\–Haemogamasinae group; (iii) one species, Ixodes trianguliceps, had moderate host preference spectrum, 2-year time lag, and moderate infestation. Ectoparasites, such as trombiculid mites and the tick Ixodes ricinus, which are not confined to small mammals, were missing or very rare on the cyclic small mammal populations. This was predicted by the model.

Host and geographic records are presented for ectoparasites collected from seabirds in Alaska. Ectoparasites of three major groups were recovered: Mallophaga, represented by the genera Saemundssonia (S. fraterculae, S. montereyi, and Saemundssonia sp.) and Quadraceps (Q. antigua, and Quadraceps sp.); Siphonaptera, represented by a single specimen of Ceratophyllus v. vagabundus; and Acari, represented by the genus Ixodes (I. uriae and I. signatus). These ectoparasites along with specimens of unidentified free-living oribatid mites were found infesting species of Alcidae and Laridae (Charadriiformes) at localities in the Gulf of Alaska and the Bering and Chukchi seas.

Eulimdana florencae n.sp. from Stilt Sandpipers (Micropalama himantopus (Bonaparte))(Charadriiformes:Scolopacidae) at Little Quill Lake, Saskatchewan, and Gem, Alberta, Canada, differs from its closest congener (Eulimdana pseudolari) by the lack of a cleft at the posterior extremity of the female. In addition, the microfilaria of E. florencae has a long, attenuated tail unlike that of any previously described species. Adult worms occurred in neck tissues and microfilariae in skin. Seven of 17 juvenile (less than 2 months old) Stilt Sandpipers were infected; four contained mixed sex infections and in two of these birds microfilariae were present in both the female worms and the host\&$\#$39;s skin. The remaining three infected juvenile birds contained only adult male or only adult female worms. Eight of 12 adult birds were infected; six contained only skin-inhabiting microfilariae, one contained microfilariae plus a single adult female (probably senescent), and one contained a single male. Support is provided, therefore, for a recent hypothesis predicting that Eulimdana spp. are often acquired early in life by scolopacid shorebirds, that post reproductive adult worms are ephemeral, and that the skin-inhabiting microfilariae are long-lived.

Eulimdana juventarum n.sp. from Willets (Catoptrophorus semipalmatus (Gmelinj), Eulimdana asperum n.sp. fromWilson\&$\#$39;s Phalaropes (Phalaropus tricolor (Vieillotj). and Eulimdana pseudolari n.sp. from Red-necked Phalaropes (Phalaropus lobatus (L.)) in Canada are described. The name \"Eulimdana lari (Yamaguti, 1935)\" is restricted to filarioids described by Yamaguti from the Eastern Common Gull (Larus kamtschatschensis (Bonapart)). Numerous reports of \"E. lari\" in other charadriiforms are probably incorrect, and new taxonomic studies of lemdanine filarioids in palaearctic charadriiforms are required. Eulimdana bibulbosa (Annett, Dutton, and Elliott, 1901) n.comb. is proposed for Filaria bibulbosa Annett, Dutton, and Elliott, 1901. The 11 species in Eulimdana and their host groups are listed. Adult worms of the three new species occurred in subcutaneous tissues of the neck and connective tissues around the trachea and oesophagus. Microfilariae of E. juventarum and E. asperum occurred in skin, and skin-inhabiting microfilariae may be common in charadriiform birds. Microfilariae of E. asperum were also found in blood, but less frequently than in skin. Microfilariae of E. pseudolari were found in blood but probably occur in both blood and skin; skin was not examined. Prevalence of infection will be underestimated if hosts are examined only for microfilariae as sterile infections (those with only male or only female worms) are common. Adult worms in patent infections (those with mocrifilariae) apparently are short-lived and then completely resorbed by the host. In late patency infections, therefore, skin-inhabiting microfilariae occur in the absence of adult worms. Patent infections probably produce a protective immunity. Amblyceran lice probably transmit species of Eulimdana in the Charadriiformes.

The distribution of the haematophagous fly Carnus hemapterus among starling (Sturnus vulgaris) broods was investigated in a nest-box colony. Prevalence of infection was 94\% among broods and 69\% among individual nestlings, while median abundance was 54 flies per brood (range 0-284 flies; n = 33) and 8 flies per individual nestling (range 0-117 flies; n = 140). Parasites exhibited an aggregated distribution among starling broods. Carnus hemapterus populations changed significantly during the development of nestlings: fly abundance increased rapidly after nestlings hatched, peaked 5-8 days after hatching and decreased thereafter. The proportions of winged flies (assumed to be the transmissive form) and the proportion of male flies decreased with increasing nestling mass. Measures of within-colony spatial position of nests were not related to mean brood abundance, proportion of winged flies or sex ratio of the flies. Parasite abundance did not correlate with mortality rate or growth rate of nestlings. In conclusion, nestling developmental stage was the only significant predictor of variation in C. hemapterus populations in this starling colony.

The hides of 47 white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) shot at Long Point, Ontario, between September 1972 and August 1973 were examined for lice. Adult Tricholipeurus lipeuroides were most abundant from January to April and T. parallelus from May to August. The distributions of biting lice changed over the study period, possibly influenced by environmental factors such as solar radiation, temperature, rainfall, and changes in pelage. Solenopotes ferrisi was found throughout the study period. There was no significant change in abundance of the various louse stages throughout the study, although all stages were slightly more numerous during winter. Adults primarily infested the head and neck, while immature stages infested upper body regions. Changes in distribution of lice may be the result of environmental and host pelage changes.

Breeding populations of Pseudomenopon pilosum (Scopoli, 1763) became established on 10 laboratory-reared juvenile American Coots (Fulica americana Gmelin) initially infested with 5 adult male and 5 adult female lice. Eggs of P. pilosum hatched less than 10 days after deposition and the combined duration of the three nymphal instars was 10\–20 days. Nymphs and adults occupied all regions of the body. Pseudomenopon pilosum might thus acquire microfilariae of Pelecitus fulicaeatrae (Diesing, 1861) by simply randomly moving to and feeding on the legs where, in infected coots, the skin-inhabiting microfilariae of P. fulicaeatrae are known mainly to occur. Pseudomenopon pilosum occurred on all of 13 adult coots and three 1-week-old coot chicks collected in June in western Canada where P. fulicaeatrae is enzootic. Third-stage larvae of P. fulicaeatrae were found in adult P. pilosum on two of four adult coots harbouring microfilariae, but prevalence in lice was low (5.5\% of 18 lice on one coot and 1.1\% of 90 on the second) and only one third-stage larva was present in each infected louse. Four other species of lice were present on adult coots but only one other on 1-week-old chicks. Experiments showed that P. pilosum could occur as a straggler on chickens (Gallus gallus (L.)) and Red-necked Grebes (Podiceps grisegena (Boddaert)) although it did not establish on either species.

Microfilariae of P. fulicaeatrae were found in skin of the feathered portions of the legs of infected birds, generally in the dermis around feather follicles; this is the first report of skin-inhabiting microfilariae among avian filarioids. Development of P. fulicaeatrae to the third stage in the chewing louse Pseudomenopon pilosum (Scopoli) (Mallophaga: Amblycera) is described. Microfilariae and developing first-stage larvae were found in nymphal and adult lice but third-stage larvae were found only in adults; prevalence of third-stage larvae was significantly higher in females than in males. Adult P. fulicaeatrae were recovered from an experimentally inoculated, laboratory-reared coot and from laboratory-reared coots that had been housed with infected and infested wild-caught coots. Pelecitus fulicaeatrae is the first filarioid in the Dirofilariinae known to be transmitted by lice and the third found in birds. Pseudomenopon pilosum was found on 40 (85\%) of 47 coots of undetermined ages from Alberta and Pseudomenopon dolium (Rudow) was found on all of 5 juvenile red-necked grebes also from Alberta. Possibly, P. pilosum occasionally transfers to grebes and (or) P. dolium also transmits P. fulicaeatrae.

Data from a 4-year study in Portugal describing the abundance of wing feather mites on Passerines (Behnke et al. 1995. Exp. Appl. Acarol. 19: 443-458.), were used to investigate whether avian body mass influences the abundance of mites. Using 17 host species as statistically independent observations, mite infestation score correlates positively with avian body mass. This correlation is not a phylogenetic artefact, having been also found when controlling for avian phylogeny. Three non-exclusive hypotheses might explain this finding: (1) larger birds may provide larger \‘habitat islands\’ enabling more mites to coexist; (2) larger birds may provide more topographic refugia for mites to evade host preening; (3) larger birds may provide a greater longevity of \‘habitat islands\’ thus reducing the decimating effects of transmission.
