Phylogenomics and biogeography of the feather lice (Phthiraptera: Ischnocera) of parrots [PDF]
Abstract Avian feather lice (Phthiraptera: Ischnocera) have undergone morphological diversification into ecomorphs based on how they escape host preening defences. Parrot lice are one prominent example of this phenomenon, with wing, body, or head louse ecomorphs occurring on various groups of parrots.
