Exploring Floristic Diversity and Medicinal Plant Uses in Venda, Limpopo, South Africa
Feddes Repertorium, Volume 137, Issue 2, June 2026.ABSTRACT Plants have been an important source of medicine for thousands of years. To better understand the current diversity and usage of medicinal plants, floristic studies are essential. This report documents an expedition conducted in the Venda region of Limpopo, South Africa. The study was carried out in Shanzha and surrounding villages, as well as

Diversity of Chewing Lice (Insecta: Phthiraptera) in the Indo‐Burma Biodiversity Hotspot
Journal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.The diversity of birds is well documented globally. However, the same attention has generally not been given to their parasites, which comprise many times their diversity. Here, we present data from a large‐scale survey of chewing lice found infesting birds in the Indo‐Burma biodiversity hotspot of western Yunnan, China.

Biogeography Explains Cophylogenetic Patterns in Toucan Chewing Lice [PDF]
Systematic Biology, 2004 Historically, comparisons of host and parasite phylogenies have concentrated on cospeciation. However, many of these comparisons have demonstrated that the phylogenies of hosts and parasites are seldom completely congruent, suggesting that phenomena other than cospeciation play an important role in the evolution of host-parasite assemblages.
