Interactions between prairie dogs and arthropods in grassland ecosystems: a review and research gaps

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Prairie dogs (Cynomys spp.) are an important component of grassland ecosystems of North America where they can alter vegetation composition/structure and physical attributes of grassland habitats through their feeding and burrowing behavior. Impacts of prairie dog presence on many wildlife and plant taxa have been widely studied but research on prairie

Host and Parasite Interactions Among Three Symbionts: Pocket Gophers, Chewing Lice, and Endosymbiotic Bacteria. [PDF]

, 2000
This study investigates the patterns of cophylogeny documented between pocket gophers (Rodentia: Geomyidae) and their ectoparasitic chewing lice (Phthiraptera: Trichodectidae). The first two chapters investigate the mechanisms that reinforce cospeciation

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

Diversity, 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.

Beyond the specimen: rethinking ornithological collecting in a changing world

Ibis, EarlyView.
Natural history collections underpin a wide range of ornithological research, yet the context in which they operate is rapidly changing. Advances in genomics, digitization and analytical approaches are transforming what can be learned from specimens, while accelerating environmental change is increasing the need for temporally explicit, integrative ...

Biology, ecology, and evolution of chewing lice [PDF]

, 2003
book chapterChewing lice are small, dorsoventrally compressed insects and are parasites of virtually all birds (Fig. 1) and some mammals (Fig. 2). Many chewing lice are host specific, being found on only a single species of host. All chewing lice are

Diversity of lice and flea- and lice-borne pathogens in free-ranging dogs in Uzbekistan. [PDF]

Med Vet Entomol
Lice (Trichodectes canis, Linognathus africanus and Bovicola bovis) and fleas were collected from dogs across five regions of Uzbekistan and subjected to molecular analysis. Molecular screening detected Dipylidium caninum and Bartonella spp. in fleas, while Rickettsia spp. were identified in both fleas and lice.

Carrion ecology: concepts, interdisciplinary synthesis, and perspectives

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 6, Page 2839-2873, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Carrion is a ubiquitous resource in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, yet it has long been overlooked in ecological research. Over the past two decades, studies on carrion and the many organisms that exploit it have flourished, revealing not only wide‐ranging ecological functions but also significance far beyond ecology.
