Cophylogenetic relationships between penguins and their chewing lice [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Evolutionary Biology, 2006
Abstract It is generally thought that the evolution of obligate parasites should be linked intimately to the evolution of their hosts and that speciation by the hosts should cause speciation of their parasites. The penguins and their chewing lice present a rare opportunity to examine codivergence between a complete host order and its ...

Biosystematics of the Chewing Lice of Pocket Gophers

Annual Review of Entomology, 1991
One of the greatest challenges in systematic and evolutionary biology conĀ­ cerns the taxonomy, coevolution, and biogeography of chewing lice of the genera Geomydoecus and Thomomydoecus (Mallophaga: Trichodectidae) and their vertebrate hosts, the more than 400 recognized species and subspecies of pocket gophers (Rodentia: Geomyidae).

Chewing lice from wild birds in northern Greece

Parasitology International, 2017
Greece represents an important area for wild birds due to its geographical position and habitat diversity. Although the bird species in Greece are well recorded, the information about the chewing lice that infest them is practically non-existent. Thus, the aim of the present study was to record the species of lice infesting wild birds in northern ...

The Chewing Lice of Brown Booby (Sula leucogaster) in Southeastern Brazil

Journal of Parasitology, 2022
The brown booby (Sula leucogaster Boddaert, 1783) has a wide geographic distribution, being found throughout the intertropical range except for the west coast of South America. Chewing lice (Phthiraptera: Amblycera and Ischnocera) are ectoparasites commonly found in association with a wide variety of bird species, and extensive infestations can lead to

Population Dynamics of Chewing Lice (Phthiraptera) Infesting Birds (Aves)

Annual Review of Entomology, 2021
In the past 25 years, studies on interactions between chewing lice and their bird hosts have increased notably. This body of work reveals that sampling of live avian hosts, collection of the lice, and the aggregated distributions of louse infestations pose challenges for assessing louse populations.

Sucking and Chewing Lice

2016
Lice are obligatory, permanent parasitic insects belonging to order Phthiraptera, which have a developed proboscis to suck blood from capillaries (suborder Anoplura) of mammals, or chewing mouth pieces, adapted to eat hairs and feathers, and sometimes also the skin and blood of birds and mammals (suborders Amblycera, Ischnocera, and Rhynchophthirina ...
