Revista del Museo Argentino de Ciencias Naturales, 2020 Peru has a great diversity of birds, having more than 1870 species in its territory. However, studies on chewing lice (Phthiraptera) in birds from Peru are still limited. The objective of this study is to contribute to the knowledge of the diversity of lice in birds of Peru.

Feather holes of rock ptarmigan are associated with amblyceran chewing lice
Wildlife 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.

River barriers and cryptic biodiversity in an evolutionary museum
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 3, Issue 3, Page 536-545, March 2013., 2013 We find strong genetic evidence that the Congo River has served as a barrier to both birds and their ectoparasitic lice. Our results indicate that contemporaneous, Pleistocene lineage diversification has occurred across the Congo River. Abstract The Riverine Barriers Hypothesis (RBH) posits that tropical rivers can be effective barriers to gene flow ...

To the fauna of chewing lice (Phthiraptera) of birds in the Lower Don region, Russia. Non-Passeriformes. Part 1 [PDF]
Кавказский энтомологический бюллетень, 2018 The fauna of chewing lice (Phthiraptera) of non-passerine birds was studied in Rostov Region of Russia for the first time. The material was collected from 2001 to 2017 in the vicinity of Rostov-on-Don city. As a result, 29 species of chewing lice from 85

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 38, Issue 1, Page 112-117, March 2024.African savanna elephant lice and Asian elephant lice differ by ~17% in cox1 gene sequence and by >23% in combined sequences of 23 mitochondrial genes. Mitochondrial gene sequence divergences between African and Asian elephant lice are 3.76–4.6 times higher than that between their hosts.

Diversity, 2023 Patterns of prevalence in chewing lice (Phthiraptera) on wild birds are poorly known, as are the underlying factors that influence these patterns. Here, we analyze a data set consisting of published prevalence data of lice on shorebirds, as well as new ...
