Chewing lice (Mallophaga: Insecta) of birds in the Central Ciscaucasia

Entomological Review, 2011
Collections of 8805 individuals of chewing lice from wild and domestic fowl in the Central Ciscaucasia were processed. According to original and literary data, 102 species of Mallophaga are known from this territory; 15 of them were recorded for the first time. Most of all the chewing lice species known in the territory are parasites of passerine birds;

Chewing lice (Phtiraptera) on the Bonelli's Eagle Aquila fasciata in the Iberian Peninsula (Spain)

Ornis Hungarica
Bonelli's Eagle is an endangered species with little information on its ectoparasites. We studied their chewing lice (Phthiraptera: Amblycera, Ischnocera) infestations by visually searching the plumage of 64 wild and captive specimens.

Critical Evaluation of Five Methods for Quantifying Chewing Lice (Insecta: Phthiraptera)

The Journal of Parasitology, 2001
Five methods for estimating the abundance of chewing lice (Insecta: Phthiraptera) were tested. To evaluate the methods, feral pigeons (Columba livia) and 2 species of ischnoceran lice were used. The fraction of lice removed by each method was compared, and least squares linear regression was used to determine how well each method predicted total ...

High Ectoparasite Loads of Tropical Birds: Chewing Lice on Puerto Rican American Kestrels (Falco sparverius caribaearum)

Journal of Wildlife Diseases
: Ectoparasite loads of birds may be governed, in part, by the climatic characteristics of their environment. We surveyed live-trapped American Kestrels (Falco sparverius caribaearum) for lice and other ectoparasites on the humid subtropical island of ...

Chewing lice (Insecta, Phthiraptera) and ticks (Arachnida, Ixodida) associated with birds in highland marshes of the Brazilian semiarid

Studies on Neotropical Fauna and Environment
In Brazilian semiarid, highland marshes are home to a great diversity of species; still, these ecosystems suffer constant impacts due to agriculture, logging, and livestock.

Infestation parameters for chewing lice (Phthiraptera: Amblycera, Ischnocera) parasitising true thrushes (Aves: Passeriformes: Turdidae) in Manitoba, Canada

Canadian Entomologist, 2021
Seven species of Turdidae (Aves: Passeriformes) in Manitoba, Canada were examined for chewing lice (Phthiraptera) in 1993–2019: Turdus migratorius (N = 570), Catharus ustulatus (N = 135), Catharus guttatus (N = 49), Catharus minimus (N = 12), Catharus ...

The chewing lice (Phthiraptera: Ischnocera, Amblycera) of the great cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo)

Parasitology International, 2018
The Great Cormorant is a widespread bird species with almost worldwide distribution. Accordingly, its general biology has been investigated thoroughly. Less well known, however, are the chewing lice that live inside the plumage of this diving bird. We examined the two known species of Great Cormorant chewing lice, Eidmanniella pellucida (Rudow, 1869 ...

Genetic Differentiation in Sympatric Species of Chewing Lice (Mallophaga: Trichodectidae)

Annals of the Entomological Society of America, 1989
Starch-gel electrophoresis was used to assess levels of genetic differentiation among populations representing four species of chewing lice ( Geomydoecus ). These species included representatives of the subgenera Geomydoecus and Thomomydoecus that coexist on individual pocket gophers ( Thomomys ).

Cophylogeny and disparate rates of evolution in sympatric lineages of chewing lice on pocket gophers

Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2007
(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Although molecular-based phylogenetic studies of hosts and parasites are increasingly common in the literature, no study to date has examined two congeneric lineages of parasites that live in sympatry on the same lineage of hosts.
