Patterns of host-parasite associations in tropical lice and their passerine hosts in Cameroon. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol 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.

Avian louse phylogeny (Phthiraptera: Ischnocera): a cladistic study based on morphology [PDF]

open access: bronzeZoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2001
The louse suborder Ischnocera (Phthiraptera) contains 3060 currently described species from over 150 genera. These lice are permanent obligatory ectoparasites of a diverse selection of birds and mammals with a worldwide distribution. Historically, they have played a major role in the development of our ideas on coevolution, and species hosted by ...

Evolution of the <i>Neopsylla hongyangensis</i> Mitogenome: Insights Into the Mitogenomic Evolution of the Orders Siphonaptera and the Phthiraptera. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol
The 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 ...

Contrasting seasonal patterns in diet and dung‐associated invertebrates of feral cattle and horses in a rewilding area

open access: yesMolecular 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 ...
