Feather mites are the most diverse ectocommensals associated with birds, found on all major avian lineages. Their distribution tends to match that of their hosts, even for cosmopolitan birds, albeit isolate bird populations may have a distinct mite fauna. Molecular techniques such as barcoding have revealed cryptic mite species on different bird populations, with a faster speciation rate …
Feather mites (Analgoidea and Pterolichoidea) is the most species rich and abundant group of arthropods associated with birds. This diversity is due to a combination of two factors: the mites' (I) specialization to live in specific microhabitats on the bird's body (II) high specificity to their hosts. Transmission of these mites to new hosts typically occurs when two bird individuals have…
