What is it about?
Three new world Bat fly species display differential prevalence between different levels of habitat fragmentation in a neotropical landscape of Mexico.

Why is it important?
The relevance of these findings lays in the potential effect on host-parasite interaction when host habitat is fragmented. Particularly in neotropical landscapes.
Perspectives
Hábitat changes have direct effects on species. Some important questions rely on the effects of these changes on host-parasite relationships. The ecology of these interactions is still not fully understood so this paper contributes with some insights on this interesting topic.
