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.
