Feather holes of rock ptarmigan are associated with amblyceran chewing lice [PDF]

open access: yesWildlife Biology, Volume 2017, Issue SP1, Page 1-8, 2017., 2017
Feather holes have traditionally been suggested to be feeding traces of chewing lice (mallophagans). There is controversy whether mallophagans are the real source of feather holes. We studied mallophagan infestations and holes in tail feathers of 528 rock ptarmigan Lagopus muta collected 2007–2012 in northeast Iceland.

open access: yesEcol Evol, 2020
Associations of lice and their avian hosts in the tropical rainforests of Cameroon are predominantly shaped by host switching. Despite the general incongruence between parasite and host phylogenies, the significant correlation between host and parasite phylogenetic distances suggests the prevalence of host switching to closely related hosts.

A unique case of commensalism: The beaver beetle Platypsyllus castoris (Leiodidae, Coleoptera) and its morphological adaptations

open access: yesJournal of Morphology, Volume 284, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
We document in detail the morphology of adults of the beaver beetle Platypsyllus castoris with modern techniques, and interpret evolutionary changes linked with the specific life style of the beetle in the fur of the beaver. Platypsyllus displays numerous structural specializations which ensure mechanical stabilization, firm anchorage on the host, and ...
