A riddle wrapped in an enigma: parasitic lice as clues to the evolutionary puzzle of Sapayoa (Aves) royalsocietypublishing.org/rsbl/article... | #BiologyLetters #Evolution #MolecularBiology #Taxonomy

🚨Paper alert🚨 We studied the permanent chewing louse genus Myrsidea to revisit the long-debated evolutionary and biogeographic history of Sapayoa aenigma, finding signals consistent with an extra-Neotropical origin of the parasite lineage. 📄 royalsocietypublishing.org/rsbl/article...

Delighted that #TheNat #nattalk #SanDiegoBirdAlliance is not afraid to host a great talk on inclusion in ornithology by Juliana Soto-Patiño nor to mention DEI in their intros. ❤️ nature and birds are for everyone ❤️
