Prevalence and diversity of parasitic bird lice (Insecta: Psocodea) in northeast Arkansas

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2023
Many groups of parasites lack basic information on biodiversity and host associations, which poses challenges for conservation and understanding the ecological relationships between hosts and their parasites.

New records of Psocodea (Insecta) from Vietnam

Historia Naturalis Bulgarica
In this study, we contribute to the knowledge of the psocid fauna of Vietnam by reporting four species for the first time for the territory of the country: Amphipsocus unitoides New et Thornton, 1976, Isophanes capeneri Smithers, 1956, Peripsocus ...

Prospects for Complete DNA Barcode Coverage of the New Zealand Insect Fauna. [PDF]

J R Soc N Z
The accurate identification of insects supports conservation, biosecurity and ecological monitoring. However, morphological identification is constrained by taxonomic complexity, undescribed diversity, and limited expertise. DNA barcoding can alleviate some of these challenges and complement morphological identification, if reference data are ...

Novel Foraging Behaviors of an Urban Bird, the Light-Vented Bulbul (<i>Pycnonotus sinensis</i>). [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Light‐vented Bulbul (Pycnonotus sinensis) were observed foraging on tree trunks in a woodpecker‐like manner. Light‐vented Bulbuls foraged on insect aggregations under artificial street light. Our findings provide new insights into possible behavioral adaptation strategies of Light‐vented Bulbuls to urban environments. ABSTRACT Urban environments expose

Evolutionary Patterns of the Genes Involved in the Integrity and Segregation of Chromosomes in Sawflies (Hymenoptera: Symphyta). [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study identifies and characterizes the genes encoding cohesin and condensin complexes across Symphytan superfamilies, revealing their structural and functional roles with conserved motifs in maintaining genome stability. Phylogenetic analyses indicate that SMC genes originated from ancient duplication events, with notable gene loss (e.g., CAPG2 ...

Psocids from Malta (Insecta: Psocodea: ‘Psocoptera’), with new synonymy for Peripsocus stagnivagus based on the discovery of its first Palaearctic male [PDF]

, 2015
About 2,000 specimens of Psocoptera were collected in Malta recently. Examination of this material revealed 21 new re-cords for the Maltese archipelago, augmenting the known psocid fauna of these islands from 6 to 27 species.

Diversity and Distribution Patterns of Insects in Nigeria: A GBIF-Based Appraisal. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Insect diversity in Nigeria is high, with 5880 species. Diversity differs between biomes. Current diversity represents ~21 of the estimated ‘true’ diversity. ABSTRACT Insects provide essential ecosystem services and are key indicators of ecosystem health.
