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)

Systematic 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.

Seasonal changes in the population of Menacanthus cornutus (Phthiraptera: Amblycera) [PDF]

Journal of Parasitic Diseases, 2013
The chicken body louse, Menacanthus cornutus (Menoponidae s.l.) completes its whole life cycle on the body of Gallus gallus domesticus. The louse exploits the microclimate developed by host skin temperature and feather cover. The weekly visual examination has demonstrated the pronounced response on the population fluctuation of M.

Patterns in the Distribution of Avian Lice (Phthiraptera: Amblycera, Ischnocera) [PDF]

Journal of Avian Biology, 1997
The frequency distributions of 15 species of avian lice among individuals within host populations are described and 12 previously described distributions are reviewed. All of these distributions were aggregated, but some of them do not conform to the negative binomial model (4 at P

Prevalence of chewing lice species on migratory birds in Razzaza lake [PDF]

Iraqi Journal of Veterinary Sciences, 2023
Chewing lice (Phthiraptera: Ischnocera and Amblycera) are permanent, obligate, and host-specific ectoparasites commonly found in birds. This study detects the types of chewing lice on living migratory birds.

The morphology of Colpocephalum pectinatum (Phthiraptera: Amblycera: Menoponidae) under scanning electron microscopy

Arthropod Structure & Development, 2021
Here, we describe under scanning electron microscopy (SEM) the morphology of Colpocephalum pectinatum (Phthiraptera, Menoponidae), an ectoparasite found in burrowing owls, Athene cunicularia. We devote particular attention to the morphology of the main structures of the head (antennae and mouth-parts) and legs (tarsi and femoral ctenidia). Moreover, we

Fog and fauna of the Namib Desert: past and future

Ecosphere, 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.
