International Journal of Zoology, 2011 Nest ectoparasites have been linked previously to patterns of nest-site choice and breeding success in birds. Recent research has shown nestboxes facing south-southwest are occupied less frequently by great tits (Parus major) than identical boxes facing ...

Patterns of host-parasite associations in tropical lice and their passerine hosts in Cameroon. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2020 Associations of lice and their avian hosts in the tropical rainforests of Cameroon are predominantly shaped by host switching. Despite the general incongruence between parasite and host phylogenies, the significant correlation between host and parasite phylogenetic distances suggests the prevalence of host switching to closely related hosts.

Molecular Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 8, Page 2071-2091, April 2023., 2023 Abstract Trophic rewilding is increasingly applied in restoration efforts, with the aim of reintroducing the ecological functions provided by large‐bodied mammals and thereby promote self‐regulating, biodiverse ecosystems. However, empirical evidence for the effects of megafauna introductions on the abundance and richness of other organisms such as ...

Journal of Morphology, Volume 284, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023 We document in detail the morphology of adults of the beaver beetle Platypsyllus castoris with modern techniques, and interpret evolutionary changes linked with the specific life style of the beetle in the fur of the beaver. Platypsyllus displays numerous structural specializations which ensure mechanical stabilization, firm anchorage on the host, and ...

Systematic Entomology, Volume 47, Issue 3, Page 420-429, July 2022., 2022 Based on 254 published records, we use species interaction networks to illustrate what is known about avian louse hitchhiking on hippoboscid flies. We then propose a protocol for obtaining new records by finding flies carrying lice on bird carcasses followed by species‐level sorting of all flies and lice with cost‐effective NGS barcodes.

Evolution of the <i>Neopsylla hongyangensis</i> Mitogenome: Insights Into the Mitogenomic Evolution of the Orders Siphonaptera and the Phthiraptera. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe Neopsylla hongyangensis is an important medical insect that transmits plague. We sequenced the mitogenome of N. hongyangensis and constructed a phylogenetic tree for the order Siphonaptera. In addition, we explored the mitogenomic evolution of the orders Siphonaptera and Phthiraptera, which both belong to the class Insects, on warm‐blooded animals ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 10, Issue 15, Page 8379-8393, August 2020., 2020 Genomic data from Alaska grouse species and their associated feather lice suggest a mixed history of host switching and codivergence between these organisms. The results give insight into the ecological and evolutionary history of grouse in Alaska, and also help us understand how hosts and their parasites interact over time. Abstract Understanding both
