Birds in arid regions have depauperate louse communities: Climate change implications?
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2024.Environmental factors are known to affect the distribution of free‐living organisms. We surveyed parasitic lice (Insecta: Phthiraptera) of 500 birds and found that parasite diversity is also influenced by the environment. We found that birds in arid Utah had substantially lower louse diversity (prevalence, abundance, and richness) than birds in humid ...

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 93, Issue 8, Page 1003-1021, August 2024.The study shows temporal dynamics of invertebrate succession in cattle dung by a multi‐taxon approach. Functional redundancy was found within groups of beetles and flies important for dung decomposition, suggesting functional stability and resilience in the system.

A morphological phylogeny with a taxonomic revision of African species of Goniodes (Insecta: Phthiraptera: Ischnocera) sensu lato from the Galliformes (Aves) [PDF]
, 2012 Parasites are the most diverse metazoan group on earth and are important in understanding ecological and evolutionary processes. Given their high host specificity, simple life cycle and distinctive molecular evolution, the approximately 5000 species of

Estimating pathogen‐spillover risk using host–ectoparasite interactions
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2024.Understanding the interacting factors that lead to pathogen transmission in a zoonotic cycle could help identify novel hosts of pathogens and the patterns that lead to disease emergence. We use parasite ecology, phylogenetics, and geography to predict known and unknown hosts of hantavirus.

Australian Veterinary Journal, Volume 102, Issue 3, Page 96-100, March 2024.The subcutaneous parasitic mite Hemimyialges macdonaldi was found in a specimen of the Orange‐bellied Parrot Neophema chrysogaster that died in captivity. A review of the host range and geographic distribution of this mite shows it is cosmopolitan and occurs in a very wide range of birds. It does not appear to be a cause of significant mortality in its

Acta Scientiarum: Biological Sciences, 2019 Phthiraptera are lice highly adapted to living as permanent and obligatory ectoparasites of birds and mammals. High infestations by biting lice contribute to the low productivity, loss quality of the eggs, besides weight decrease of chickens.
