Host Associations, Phylogenetics, and Biogeography of Parasitic Avian Chewing Lice (Insecta: Phthiraptera) from Sub-Saharan Africa [PDF]
, 2017 Parasitic chewing lice (Insecta: Phthiraptera) of birds are found everywhere their avian hosts are distributed, and their host relationships and taxonomy have been well studied in many regions. Lice have obligate parasitic relationships with their hosts (

Biology, ecology, and evolution of chewing lice [PDF]
, 2003 Book ChapterChewing lice are small, dorsoventrally compressed insects and are parasites of virtually all birds (Fig. 1) and some mammals (Fig. 2). Many chewing lice are host specific, being found on only a single species of host. All chewing lice are

Codistributed Lineages of Feather Lice Show Different Phylogenetic Patterns [PDF]
, 2018 Recent molecular phylogenies have suggested that hawks (Accipitridae) and falcons (Falconidae) form 2 distantly related groups within birds. Avian feather lice have often been used as a model for comparing host and parasite phylogenies, and in some cases
