Prevalence of chewing lice species on migratory birds in Razzaza lake [PDF]
Iraqi Journal of Veterinary Sciences, 2023 Chewing lice (Phthiraptera: Ischnocera and Amblycera) are permanent, obligate, and host-specific ectoparasites commonly found in birds. This study detects the types of chewing lice on living migratory birds.

The lice (Insecta : phthiraptera) of short-tailed shearwaters, ardenna tenuirostris, in Bass Strait, Tasmania [PDF]
, 2011 There is a paucity of research into the louse fauna of Shorttailed Shearwaters, Ardenna tenuirostris (Temminck, 1835), despite this species being one of the world's most studied seabirds (Bradley et al. 1991 and references therein).

Nature of crop contents of an amblyceran pigeon louse, Colpocephalum turbinatum (Phthiraptera: Insecta) [PDF]
, 2018 Selected haemetophagous phthirapterans have been convicted to act as reservoir and transmitter of pathogens among their hosts. Amblyceran Phthiraptera are generally believed to exhibit varying degree of haemetophagy.

Antennal sensilla of head of poultry shaft louse, Menopon gallinae (Phthiraptera, Insecta, Menoponidae, Amblycera) [PDF]
, 2012 Phthirapteran ectoparasites (lice) are very small arthropodan creature which spend their life on different mammalian and avian host body. Many morphological features of these tiny creatures are not visible under simple microscopic study and hence ...

Host defense triggers rapid adaptive radiation in experimentally evolving parasites
Evolution 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.

River barriers and cryptic biodiversity in an evolutionary museum
Ecology 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 ...
