lineage sorting in multihost parasites: eidmanniella albescens and fregatiella aurifasciata on seabirds from the galapagos islands.parasites comprise a significant percentage of the biodiversity of the planet and are useful systems to test evolutionary and ecological hypotheses. in this study, we analyze the effect of host species identity and the immediate local species assemblage within mixed species colonies of nesting seabirds on patterns of genetic clustering within two species of multihost ectoparasitic lice. we use three genetic markers (one mitochondrial, coi, and two nuclear, ef1-α and wingless) and maximum likelih ...201526380662
comparative ectoparasite loads of five seabird species in the galapagos islands.in this paper we describe the ectoparasitic lice (insecta: phthiraptera) found on 5 species of seabirds (magnificent frigatebird fregata magnificens; great frigatebird fregata minor ; nazca booby sula granti ; blue-footed booby sula nebouxii ; and red-footed booby sula sula ) on the galapagos archipelago. we found 9 species of ectoparasitic lice: 5 species of pectinopygus ischnocerans, 1 infesting each host; 2 species of colpocephalum amblyceran lice, 1 on each frigatebird species; and 2 shared ...201424911632
