First record of Lipeurus caponis (Psocodea: Ischnocera: Philopteridae) parasitizing domestic chickens (Gallus gallus domesticus) in Brazilian Amazon [PDF]

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária
Lice are obligatory ectoparasites of birds and mammals, possessing mouthparts adapted for feeding on the blood and/or keratinized tissue of their hosts. Recording parasites that may cause economic and sanitary losses in the country's poultry industry is ...

Composition and distribution of lice (Insecta: Phthiraptera) on Colombian and Peruvian birds: New data on louse-host association in the Neotropics [PDF]

Biodiversity Data Journal, 2018
The diversity of permanent ectoparasites is likely underestimated due to the difficulty of collecting samples. Lice (Insecta: Phthiraptera) are permanent ectoparasites of birds and mammals; there are approximately 5,000 species described and many more ...

Drastic variation in mitochondrial genome organization between two congeneric species of bird lice (Philopteridae: Ibidoecus) [PDF]

BMC Genomics
The over 4,100 species of bird lice are classified into 214 genera in the parvorders Amblycera and Ischnocera. Congeneric species of bird lice usually share much similarity in morphology and in mitochondrial (mt) genome organization.

A critically co-endangered feather louse Forficuloecus pezopori n. sp. (Phthiraptera: Philopteridae) detected through conservation intervention for the western ground parrot Pezoporus flaviventris (Psittaculidae) [PDF]

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife
Forficuloecus pezopori Martin, Keatley & Ash n. sp. from the western ground parrot Pezoporus flaviventris North, 1911 (Psittaculidae) is proposed based on combined evidence from morphology and COI mitochondrial DNA.

The ischnoceran chewing lice (Phthiraptera: Ischnocera) of bulbuls (Aves: Passeriformes: Pycnonotidae), with descriptions of 18 new species

European Journal of Taxonomy, 2022
The ischnoceran chewing lice known from bulbuls are discussed and revised, and 18 new species are described. These are: Brueelia celer sp. nov. from Pycnonotus cafer bengalensis Blyth, 1845 and Pycnonotus cafer primrosei Deignan, 1949; Brueelia ...

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.

Ego network analysis of the trophic structure of an island land bird through 300 years of climate change and invaders

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 5, May 2022., 2022
Ego net analysis is introduced as a new tool to ecology, describing the network context of a single bird species and its interacting species. During the last 200 years, the ego net of this bird has passed two major disturbances, seal hunting and cat introduction.
