Prevalence of chewing lice species on migratory birds in Razzaza lake [PDF]

open access: yesIraqi 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.

Host defense triggers rapid adaptive radiation in experimentally evolving parasites

open access: yesEvolution 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

open access: yesWildlife 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.

Taxonomy of lice and their endosymbiotic bacteria in the post-genomic era [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Recent studies of molecular and genomic data from the parasitic lice of birds and mammals, as well as their mutualistic endosymbiotic bacteria, are changing the phylogenetic relationships and taxonomy of these organisms.

River barriers and cryptic biodiversity in an evolutionary museum

open access: yesEcology 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 ...
