Systematics and cophylogenetics of toucans and their associated chewing lice
… of Ramphastos toucans and their ectoparasitic chewing lice using molecular phylogenetic and cophylogenetic reconstructions. First, using mitochondrial DNA sequences, I reconstructed the phylogeny of the Ramphastos toucans. I used this phylogeny to assess whether the striking similarity in …

Taxonomic, ecological and quantitative examination of chewing lice (Insecta: Phthiraptera) on Canada geese (Branta canadensis) and mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) in Manitoba, Canada
Over 19 years chewing lice data from Canada geese and mallards were collected. From Canada geese (n=300) 48,669 lice were collected, including Anaticola anseris, Anatoecus dentatus, Anatoecus penicillatus, Ciconiphilus pectiniventris, Ornithobius goniopleurus, and Trinoton anserinum. The prevalence …

Host-parasite cophylogeny and rates of evolution in two rodent-louse assemblages
… and Heteromyidae) and their associated lice (Geomydoecus and Fahrenholzia, respectively) show a statistically significant pattern of cophylogeny. Both host groups are generally solitary organisms and both louse groups are obligate ectoparasites, often exhibiting extreme degrees of host …

… including three Mallophagan chewing lice (<em>Cuculiphilus decoratus</em>, <em>Colpocephalum osborni</em>, and <em>Degeeriella guimaraesi</em>), one blood sucking mite (<em>Ornithonyssus bursa</em>). and two undescribed mites (Acari: Gabuciniidae). The new mites include an …

A morphological phylogeny with a taxonomic revision of African species of Goniodes (Insecta: Phthiraptera: Ischnocera) sensu lato from the Galliformes (Aves)
… the approximately 5000 species of ectoparasitic lice in the order Phthiraptera are ideal models for such work. Unfortunately, study of this group is hindered by a history of poor taxonomy and a lack of a widely accepted higher-level phylogeny for the Phthiraptera. This study broadly contributes …

Phthiraptera Anoplura della Sardegna: analisi delle coinfestazioni ectoparassitiche rilevate su animali d'allevamento e selvatici
… which includes the so called "sucking lice" was almost never investigated in Sardinia. They are small insects, obligatory permanent ectoparasites, characterized by a high host specificity and a high ethological, physiological and anatomical specialization, including the wingless. They …
