Wolbachia in Antarctic terrestrial invertebrates: Absent or undiscovered? [PDF]
Endosymbiotic bacteria Wolbachia are recognized for their role in influencing host survival and stress resistance, particularly in cold environmental conditions across various species. However, our analysis of available data reveals a notable absence of Wolbachia in species abundant in the extreme cold conditions of Antarctica.

Based on 254 published records, we use species interaction networks to illustrate what is known about avian louse hitchhiking on hippoboscid flies. We then propose a protocol for obtaining new records by finding flies carrying lice on bird carcasses followed by species‐level sorting of all flies and lice with cost‐effective NGS barcodes.

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

Nest ectoparasites have been linked previously to patterns of nest‐site choice and breeding success in birds. Recent research has shown nestboxes facing south‐southwest are occupied less frequently by great tits (Parus major) than identical boxes facing other directions, and are associated with reduced offspring condition.

18: PARASITISM AND DISEASE AMONG SOUTHEASTERN WILD TURKEYS*
ABSTRACT During the 6 years from 1964 to 1970 nearly 400 eastern wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) were examined for parasites and diseases. Adult and immature turkeys from Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi, and West Virginia have been studied on an annual or semi‐annual basis for 3 consecutive years, and additional information has been ...
