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 ...

Hitchhiking into the future on a fly: Toward a better understanding of phoresy and avian louse evolution (Phthiraptera) by screening bird carcasses for phoretic lice on hippoboscid flies (Diptera)

open access: yesSystematic Entomology, Volume 47, Issue 3, Page 420-429, July 2022., 2022
Based on 254 published records, we use species interaction networks to illustrate what is known about avian louse hitchhiking on hippoboscid flies. We then propose a protocol for obtaining new records by finding flies carrying lice on bird carcasses followed by species‐level sorting of all flies and lice with cost‐effective NGS barcodes.

Fog and fauna of the Namib Desert: past and future

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 11, Issue 1, January 2020., 2020
Abstract The future of fog‐dependent habitats under climate change is unknown but likely precarious; many have experienced recent declines in fog. Fog‐dependent deserts particularly will be threatened, because, there, fog can be the main water source for biota.
