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.

In vitro biology of pigeon louse Colpocephalum turbinatum (Amblycera: Phthiraptera) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
In vitro rearing of amblyceran Phthiraptera is a challenging task. A look on the literature reveals that negligible information exists on the in vitro bionomics of avian Amblycera.
