Host range expansions are an important factor for shaping the community of associated symbiotic organisms. Birds, as a highly mobile group of animals, are of particular interest to study with respect to the diversity and the distribution of the organisms

'More Than Meets the Eye': cryptic diversity and contrasting patterns of host-specificity in feather mites inhabiting seabirds [PDF]
Feather mites are useful models for studying speciation due to their high diversity and strong degree of host specialization. However, studies to date have focused on the evolution of higher-level mite taxa while much hidden diversity likely occurs at ...

Feather Mites through Genomic and Ecological Lenses: Host Specificity and Symbiosis at Multiple Levels of Organization [PDF]
Symbionts, or organisms that form close and persistent associations with hosts, are ubiquitous across the tree of life, and symbioses are among the most common interspecific interactions in the natural world.
