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.

Darwin’s finches habitually anoint their feathers with leaves of the endemic tree Psidium galapageium during the non‐breeding season

open access: yesEthology, Volume 127, Issue 10, Page 914-924, October 2021., 2021
Our study revealed that four species of Darwin's finches habitually anoint their feathers with leaves of the endemic tree Psidium galapageium, which contain volatiles with anti‐parasitic properties. We observed anointing most frequently in the morning when leaves are still wet and probably omit more volatiles.

Restricted Geographic Sampling Yields Low Parasitism Rates but Surprisingly Diverse Host Associations in Avian Lice (Insecta: Phthiraptera) from South Texas

open access: yesDiversity, 2021
South Texas is a highly variable region encompassing multiple habitat types and harboring a wide diversity of organisms. However, the parasite fauna in this region is poorly known, especially for avian ectoparasites such as lice.
