| phylogeny of the monarch flycatchers reveals extensive paraphyly and novel relationships within a major australo-pacific radiation. | monarch flycatchers are a major component of australo-pacific and wallacean avifaunas. to date, the family has received incomplete attention by molecular systematists who focused on subclades with minimal character and/or taxon sampling. as a result, monarchidae taxonomy is still out-of-date, and biogeographic reconstructions have been based on poorly-resolved phylogenies, limiting their interpretation. here, we produced a comprehensive, molecular phylogeny of the monarchidae inferred from mitoc ... | 2015 | 25463752 |
| new quill mites (cheyletoidea: syringophilidae) parasitizing the black-headed paradise-flycatcher terpsiphone rufiventer (passeriformes: monarchidae) in gabon. | a new genus of quill mites (cheyletoidea: syringophilidae) and two new species pipicobia terpsiphoni gen. nov. and sp. nov. and syringophiloidus furthi sp. nov. parasitizing the black-headed paradise-flycatcher terpsiphone rufiventer (swainson) (passeriformes: monarchidae) in gabon are described. three species of the neopicobia skoracki, 2011 are moved to the newly established genus: pipicobia locustella (skoracki, bochkov and wauthy, 2004) comb. nov., pipicobia pyrrholaemus (skoracki and glowsk ... | 2014 | 24869522 |
| a new genus of metadilepididae (cestoda: cyclophyllidea) parasitic in terpsiphone rufiventer (aves: muscicapidae) from the ivory coast. | pseudadelphoscolex eburnensis, a new genus and species of metadilepidid cyclophyllidea parasitic in the red-bellied paradise flycatcher, terpsiphone rufiventer, from the ivory coast, is described. the new species is characterized by davaineidlike rostellar hooks, absence of a rostellar pouch, a huge cirrus pouch in gravid proglottids, a bilobed uterus that becomes progressively reticular, absence of a paruterine organ, and eggs with an internal coat forming a crescentic protuberance outside the ... | 1992 | 1313500 |
