“…However, a terrestrial study found that side-blotched lizards (Uta stansburiana) captured around wind farms (responsible for noisy conditions) harboured lower numbers of trombiculid mites (Neotrombicula spp.) compared to lizards from undisturbed areas [75]. This suggested that sound could play a role in either lizard host susceptibility or the establishment of the parasitic mite on the host.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
