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

open access: yesEnviron 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)

open access: yesSystematic 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.

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.

Do Orientation‐Based Differences in Nestbox Temperature Cause Differential Ectoparasite Load and Explain Patterns of Nest‐Site Selection and Offspring Condition in Great Tits?

open access: yesInternational Journal of Zoology, Volume 2011, Issue 1, 2011., 2011
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*

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 1973, Issue S1, Page 159-167, January 1973., 1973
