Phylogenomics and biogeography of the feather lice (Phthiraptera: Ischnocera) of parrots
Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2023 Avian feather lice (Phthiraptera: Ischnocera) have undergone morphological diversification into ecomorphs based on the mechanism for escaping host preening defenses. Parrot lice are one prominent example of this phenomenon, with wing, body, or head louse

Composition and distribution of lice (Insecta: Phthiraptera) on Colombian and Peruvian birds: New data on louse-host association in the Neotropics [PDF]
Biodiversity Data Journal, 2018 The diversity of permanent ectoparasites is likely underestimated due to the difficulty of collecting samples. Lice (Insecta: Phthiraptera) are permanent ectoparasites of birds and mammals; there are approximately 5,000 species described and many more ...

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.
