Redescriptions of thirteen species of chewing lice in the Brueelia-complex (Phthiraptera, Ischnocera, Philopteridae), with one new synonymy and a neotype designation for Nirmus lais Giebel, 1874 [PDF]

Deutsche Entomologische Zeitschrift, 2019
Thirteen species of chewing lice in the Brueelia-complex are redescribed and illustrated. They are: Brueelia blagovescenskyi Balát, 1955, ex Emberiza schoeniclus (Linnaeus, 1758); B.

Patterns of host–parasite associations in tropical lice and their passerine hosts in Cameroon

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Coevolutionary processes that drive the patterns of host–parasite associations can be deduced through congruence analysis of their phylogenies. Feather lice and their avian hosts have previously been used as typical model systems for congruence analysis;

Data supporting a molecular phylogeny of the hyper-diverse genus Brueelia

Data in Brief, 2015
Data is presented in support of a phylogenetic reconstruction of one of the largest, and most poorly understood, groups of lice: the Brueelia-complex (Bush et al., 2015 [1]).

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.

Four new species of Brueelia Kéler, 1936 (Phthiraptera: Ischnocera) from African hosts, with a redescription of Nirmus bicurvatus Piaget, 1880

European Journal of Taxonomy, 2019
Four new species of Brueelia Kéler, 1936 are described and illustrated. All of them parasitize African endemic host species in the families Passeridae, Ploceidae, and Estrildidae (Passeriformes). They are: Brueelia pofadderensis sp. nov.

Two new species of chewing lice in the genus Melinirmus (Phthiraptera, Ischnocera, Philopteridae) from Australian honeyeaters (Passeriformes, Meliphagidae) [PDF]

Travaux du Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle “Grigore Antipa”
Two new species of the genus Melinirmus Mey, 2017, are described from Australian honeyeaters (Meliphagidae). These are: Melinirmus coromandelica n. sp. ex Ptilotula penicillatus penicillatus (Gould, 1837) and Melinirmus palmai n. sp.

Avian Afterlives: Integrative Taxonomy of Hippoboscid Flies (Diptera) From Citizen‐Reported Bird Carcasses Reveals a New Species and Host–Parasite Diversity in Singapore

Journal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Biodiversity science depends on rigorous characterization of species diversity and ecological roles, yet the ecology of many invertebrate species remains virtually unknown. One pragmatic way to change this is to make use of deceased animals and their companions, such as by salvaging and examining carcasses reported by citizen scientists.

Resurrection of Painjunirmus Ansari, 1947 (Phthiraptera: Ischnocera) as a subgenus of Brueelia Kéler, 1936, with description of one new species

European Journal of Taxonomy
The genus Painjunirmus Ansari, 1947 is resurrected from synonymy with Brueelia Kéler, 1936, and considered a subgenus of Brueelia Kéler, 1936. A formal redescription and diagnosis for Painjunirmus is given.

Birds in arid regions have depauperate louse communities: Climate change implications?

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2024.
Environmental factors are known to affect the distribution of free‐living organisms. We surveyed parasitic lice (Insecta: Phthiraptera) of 500 birds and found that parasite diversity is also influenced by the environment. We found that birds in arid Utah had substantially lower louse diversity (prevalence, abundance, and richness) than birds in humid ...
