Phylogenomics reveals the timescale of diversification in Amblycera
Next‐generation sequencing changes the higher taxonomy of Amblycera (Insecta: Phthiraptera). Families Trimenoponidae and Gyropidae merge into Gyropidae; Trinotonidae is a separate family; several genera are paraphyletic. The ancestral host of Amblycera was likely a bird; Amblycera switched to mammals twice.

El orden Phthiraptera comprende los piojos, un grupo muy diverso (unas 5000 especies) de gran importancia médica y veterinaria porque son ectoparásitos de aves (aproximadamente 4000 especies) y mamíferos (alrededor de 800 especies) que raramente abandonan al hospedador.

Diversity of lice and flea‐ and lice‐borne pathogens in free‐ranging dogs in Uzbekistan
Lice (Trichodectes canis, Linognathus africanus and Bovicola bovis) and fleas were collected from dogs across five regions of Uzbekistan and subjected to molecular analysis. Molecular screening detected Dipylidium caninum and Bartonella spp. in fleas, while Rickettsia spp. were identified in both fleas and lice.

Biodiversity science depends on rigorous characterization of species diversity and ecological roles, yet the ecology of many invertebrate species remains virtually unknown. One pragmatic way to change this is to make use of deceased animals and their companions, such as by salvaging and examining carcasses reported by citizen scientists.

Birds in arid regions have depauperate louse communities: Climate change implications?
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 ...
