Do parasitic lice exhibit endemism in parallel with their avian hosts? a comparison across northern amazonian areas of endemism
This study is a first step toward understanding the effects of biogeographic history on permanent ectoparasites and suggests that host biogeographic history is to some extent a determinant of the parasite's history. Furthermore, the parasite's evolutionary history is an additional source of information about their hosts' evolution in this highly diverse region of northern Amazonia.PMID:37821101 | DOI:10.1645/18-135 (Source: The Journal of Parasitology)
