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.

Feather holes of rock ptarmigan are associated with amblyceran chewing lice
Wildlife 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.

The Florida Entomologist, 1957 Medium-sized Ischnocera. Head large with expanded temples. Wide hyaline margin which originates at the distal end of marginal carinae. Dorsal anterior plate of forehead with rounded posterior margin, and prolonged into a thickened posterior point. Ventral carina fused to distal end of marginal carina on each side. Pulvinus wide and attached to edges of

BMC Biology, 2012 Replicate adaptive radiations occur when lineages repeatedly radiate and fill new but similar niches and converge phenotypically. While this is commonly seen in traditional island systems, it may also be present in host-parasite relationships, where ...

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 ...
