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
