Feather holes of rock ptarmigan are associated with amblyceran chewing lice [PDF]

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.

Wolbachia in Antarctic terrestrial invertebrates: Absent or undiscovered? [PDF]

Environ Microbiol Rep
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.

Hitchhiking into the future on a fly: Toward a better understanding of phoresy and avian louse evolution (Phthiraptera) by screening bird carcasses for phoretic lice on hippoboscid flies (Diptera)

Systematic Entomology, Volume 47, Issue 3, Page 420-429, July 2022., 2022
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.
