New views on strand asymmetry in insect mitochondrial genomes. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
Strand asymmetry in nucleotide composition is a remarkable feature of animal mitochondrial genomes. Understanding the mutation processes that shape strand asymmetry is essential for comprehensive knowledge of genome evolution, demographical population ...

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.

Implications of a Dating Analysis of Hippoboscoidea (Diptera) for the Origins of Phoresis in Feather Lice (Psocodea: Phthiraptera: Philopteridae)

Insect Systematics and Diversity, 2022
Hippoboscidae (Samouelle 1819) is a family of blood feeding Diptera, which can be phoretic vectors for parasitic feather lice (Philopteridae Burmeister 1838).
