This study constructs a comprehensive phylogenomic tree of avian feather lice using 260 samples and 2,395 genes, resolving higher-level relationships and providing a framework for future comparative studies.

The paper investigates the distribution and evolutionary history of Sodalis bacteria in feather lice, finding independent and repeated acquisitions across different louse clades.

This study reconstructs the macroevolutionary history of dove body lice using whole genome data, revealing their origin in Australasia and host-driven dispersal patterns similar to wing lice.

The paper examines mitochondrial genome fragmentation in parasitic lice, finding higher molecular evolution rates and gene rearrangements in fragmented mitogenomes.

The paper investigates the microbiome of an avian nasal mite, identifying a bacterial endosymbiont from Class Alphaproteobacteria.
