Global associations between birds and vane‐dwelling feather mites [PDF]
AbstractUnderstanding host–symbiont networks is a major question in evolutionary ecology. Birds host a great diversity of endo‐ and ectosymbiotic organisms, with feather mites (Arachnida: Acariformes: Analgoidea, Pterolichoidea) being among the most diverse of avian symbionts.

Feather mites of Brazil (Acari: Astigmata: Analgoidea and Pterolichoidea) [PDF]
We present a checklist of feather mites known from native birds in Brazil. The list was compiled from a survey of Brazilian records published in indexing databases (e.g. Zoological Records) and from the available literature.

Differential survival and dispersal of avian feather mites with contrasting host specificities
Ecological Entomology, 2022Host specificity is a fundamental life history trait of symbionts and exists on a broad continuum from symbionts that are specific to one or a few hosts (host specialists), to those associated with multiple different host species (host generalists ...

Feather Mites, Feather Lice, and Thanatochresis
The Journal of Parasitology, 1984Unrelated taxa of feather mites use exuviae of their own, or closely related, species for molting within quills or on feather surfaces of diverse groups of birds. On the Orange-fronted Conure (Aratinga canicularis (L.)) and other parrot species, feather mites and mallophagan eggs coinhabit the same feather area, mites molt within the exuviae of other ...

Origin and evolution of feather mites (Astigmata)
Experimental & Applied Acarology, 1999Feather mites are highly specialized plumage and skin ectoparasites that are variously adapted for inhabiting certain microhabitats on a bird’s body. Different feather mite taxa of higher (familial) rank adapted to the same microhabitats display similar main morphological adaptations even if they are rather distantly related to one another.
