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.

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 ...
