Lousy grouse: Comparing evolutionary patterns in Alaska galliform lice to understand host evolution and host–parasite interactions

open access: yesEcology 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

Fog and fauna of the Namib Desert: past and future

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 11, Issue 1, January 2020., 2020
Abstract The future of fog‐dependent habitats under climate change is unknown but likely precarious; many have experienced recent declines in fog. Fog‐dependent deserts particularly will be threatened, because, there, fog can be the main water source for biota.

Host defense triggers rapid adaptive radiation in experimentally evolving parasites

open access: yesEvolution Letters, Volume 3, Issue 2, Page 120-128, April 2019., 2019
Abstract Adaptive radiation occurs when the members of a single lineage evolve different adaptive forms in response to selection imposed by competitors or predators. Iconic examples include Darwin's finches, Caribbean anoles, and Hawaiian silverswords, all of which live on islands.

Feather holes of rock ptarmigan are associated with amblyceran chewing lice

open access: yesWildlife Biology, Volume 2017, Issue SP1, Page 1-8, 2017., 2017
Feather holes have traditionally been suggested to be feeding traces of chewing lice (mallophagans). There is controversy whether mallophagans are the real source of feather holes. We studied mallophagan infestations and holes in tail feathers of 528 rock ptarmigan Lagopus muta collected 2007–2012 in northeast Iceland.

River barriers and cryptic biodiversity in an evolutionary museum

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 3, Issue 3, Page 536-545, March 2013., 2013
We find strong genetic evidence that the Congo River has served as a barrier to both birds and their ectoparasitic lice. Our results indicate that contemporaneous, Pleistocene lineage diversification has occurred across the Congo River. Abstract The Riverine Barriers Hypothesis (RBH) posits that tropical rivers can be effective barriers to gene flow ...

Effects of Habitat and Human Activities on Species Richness and Assemblages of Staphylinidae (Coleoptera) in the Baltic Sea Coast

open access: yesPsyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
In 2009, the staphylind fauna was studied in six habitats of the Baltic Sea coast of Schleswig‐Holstein (northern Germany). The following habitats lagoon, sandy beach, shingle beach, primary dune, wooded cliff, and woodless cliff were significantly separated by their species composition.
