This study examines the invasion dynamics of the predatory invertebrate flatworm Kontikia andersoni, and its impacts on the invertebrate communities of sub‐Antarctic Macquarie Island. Our findings indicate that at higher elevations where K. andersoni is present there are significant reductions in invertebrate richness.

Phylogenomics reveals the timescale of diversification in Amblycera
Next‐generation sequencing changes the higher taxonomy of Amblycera (Insecta: Phthiraptera). Families Trimenoponidae and Gyropidae merge into Gyropidae; Trinotonidae is a separate family; several genera are paraphyletic. The ancestral host of Amblycera was likely a bird; Amblycera switched to mammals twice.

Karyotypes of two bark-lice species Amphipsocus japonicus End. and Dasypsocus japonicus End. (Amphipsocidae, Psocomorpha, Psocoptera) were studied for the first time. D. japonicus displayed 2n = 16 (14 + XX/X0). The XX/X0 sex chromosome system observed in this species is characteristic of the order Psocoptera. A. japonicus showed 2n = 16 (14 + neo-XY).

Molecular systematics of the bark lice infraorder Caeciliusetae (Insecta: Psocodea)
The phylogenetic relationships of bark lice and parasitic lice (Insecta: Psocodea) have been studied in a number of recent molecular phylogenetic analyses based on DNA sequences. Many of these studies have focused on the position of parasitic lice within the free-living bark lice.
