New species of ischnoceran chewing lice (Phthiraptera: Philopteridae) from Chinese birds.

Zootaxa, 2021
Five new species of chewing lice (Phthiraptera: Ischnocera) are described and illustrated from Chinese birds, as follows: Cuculicola calyptocamptus new species ex Hierococcyx sparverioides (Vigors, 1832) (Cuculiformes), Goniocotes kristinae new species ...

Stem chewing lice on Cretaceous feathers preserved in amber

Current Biology
Phthirapteran lice (true lice or parasitic lice) are a major group of ectoparasitic insects living on their bird or mammal hosts during their entire life cycle.1 Due to their highly specialized lifestyles, they are extremely poorly represented in fossil records.2 Molecular clock estimations have speculated extensively about the origin time of parasitic

An annotated checklist of the chewing lice (Phthiraptera: Ischnocera, Amblycera, Rhynchophthirina) from domestic and wild mammals in Malaysia.

Zootaxa, 2023
Literature records of chewing lice (Phthiraptera) from mammals in Malaysia were checked and reviewed, resulting in a list of 13 confirmed species belonging to eight genera (Bovicola, Felicola, Gliricola, Gyropus, Haematomyzus, Heterodoxus, Lorisicola ...

Biosystematics of the Chewing Lice of Pocket Gophers

Annual Review of Entomology, 1991
One of the greatest challenges in systematic and evolutionary biology con­ 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 (Phthiraptera) from wild birds in southern Portugal [PDF]

Parasitology International, 2016
This study was carried out to determine chewing louse species of wild birds in the Ria Formosa Natural Park, located in southern Portugal. In addition, the hypothesis that bird age, avian migration and social behaviour have an impact on the louse prevalence was tested.

Fahrenholz’s rule is not a valid methodology for determining species limits in chewing lice (Psocodea, Phthiraptera)

Bionomina, 2022
During the 20th century, the taxonomy and classification of chewing lice (Psocodea, Phthiraptera) was under the influence of Fahrenholz’s rule, which states that louse and host phylogenies should mirror each other. Strict implementation of this rule lead

Feather-chewing lice and Tree Swallow biology

The Auk, 2015
ABSTRACT Feather-chewing lice (Order Phthiraptera, Suborder Ischnocera) commonly infest birds and may affect their survival and reproduction. From 1993 to 2005, we examined several aspects of the biology of breeding Tree Swallows (Tachycineta bicolor) potentially associated with holes in wing and tail feathers caused by feather-chewing lice.

Seasonal population dynamics of the common chewing lice Columbicola columbae infesting the domestic pigeon Columba livia

Oriental insect, 2022
The biological and ecological factors experienced across the lifespan by the bird hosts affect the seasonal dynamics of their ectoparasites. The seasonal population of Columbicola columbae which infests the domestic pigeon Columba livia domestica, in ...
