Phylogenomics and biogeography of the feather lice (Phthiraptera: Ischnocera) of parrots
bioRxiv, 2023 Avian feather lice (Phthiraptera: Ischnocera) have undergone morphological diversification into ecomorphs based on the mechanism for escaping host preening defenses. Parrot lice are one prominent example of this phenomenon, with wing, body, or head louse

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.
