Two new species of Cotingacola Carriker, 1956 (Phthiraptera: Ischnocera: Philopteridae) from Amazonian Brazil, with comments on host-specificity

Abstract This paper describes two new species of Cotingacola Carriker, 1956, C. lutzae n. sp. and C. engeli n. sp., from the cinereous mourner Laniocera hypopyrra (Vieillot) and black-necked red cotinga Phoenicircus nigricollis Swainson (Aves: Passeriformes: Cotingidae), respectively. These species are fully illustrated and compared with their morphologically closest relatives. With the addition of these two new species, this Neotropical chewing louse genus now includes ten species. We also present records from Brazil for two previously described species, C. stotzi Clayton & Price, 1998 and C. parmipapillae Carriker, 1956. The re-examination of a specimen identified as 'Cotingacola sp.' in a recent phylogenetic study confirmed that it is C. parmipapillae and that Querula purpurata (Statius Müller) regularly hosts two Cotingacola species, which means that at least three cotingid hosts carry more than one species of Cotingacola. We comment on the variability in the host-specificity of Cotingacola species

However, the ecology and evolution of the host lineage also has a major impact on parasite speciation. Here we explore the interplay between biogeography and host-association on the pattern of diversification in a group of ectoparasitic lice (Insecta: Phthiraptera: Penenirmus) that feeds on the feathers of woodpeckers, barbets, and honeyguides (Piciformes) and some songbirds (Passeriformes). We use whole genome sequencing of 41 ingroup and 12 outgroup samples to develop a phylogenomic dataset of DNA sequences from a reference set of 2395 single copy ortholog genes, for a total of nearly four million aligned base positions. The phylogenetic trees resulting from both concatenated and gene-tree/species-tree coalescent analyses were nearly identical and highly supported. These trees recovered the genus Penenirmus as monophyletic and identified several major clades, which tended to be associated with one major host group. However, cophylogenetic analysis revealed that host-switching was a prominent process in the diversification of this group. This host switching generally occurred within single major biogeographic regions. We did, however, find one case in which it appears that a rare dispersal event by a woodpecker lineage from North America to Africa allowed its associated louse to colonize a woodpecker in Africa, even though the woodpecker lineage from North America never became established there.U.S. NSF DEB-1239788, DEB-1925487, DEB-1926919, NSF DEB-1855812European Commission grant H2020-MSCA-IF-2019 (INTROSYM: 886532)Open access charge: Universidad de Granada / CBU

Multi-character taxonomic review, systematics, and biogeography of the Black-capped/Tawny-bellied Screech Owl (Megascops atricapilla-M. watsonii) complex (Aves Strigidae)

Megascops is the most species-rich owl genus in the New World, with 21 species currently recognized. Phylogenetic relationships within this genus are notoriously difficult to establish due to the considerable plumage similarity among species and polymorphism within species. Previous studies have suggested that the widespread lowland Amazonian M. watsonii might include more than one species, and that the Atlantic Forest endemic M. atricapilla is closely related to the M. watsonii complex, but these relationships are as yet poorly understood. A recently published phylogeny of Megascops demonstrated that M. watsonii is paraphyletic with respect to M. atricapilla and that genetic divergences among some populations of M. watsonii are equal to or surpass the degree of differentiation between some M. watsonii and M. atricapilla. To shed light on the taxonomic status of these species and populations within them, we conducted a multi-character study based on molecular, morphological, and vocal characters. We sequenced three mitochondrial (cytb, CO1 and ND2) and three nuclear genes (BF5, CHD and MUSK) for 49 specimens, covering most of the geographic ranges of M. watsonii and M. atricapilla, and used these sequences to estimate phylogenies under alternative Bayesian, Maximum Likelihood, and multilocus coalescent species tree approaches. We studied 252 specimens and vocal parameters from 83 recordings belonging to 65 individuals, distributed throughout the ranges of M. watsonii and M. atricapilla. We used Discriminant Function Analysis (DFA) to analyze both morphometric and vocal data, and a pairwise diagnostic test to evaluate the significance of vocal differences between distinct genetic lineages. Phylogenetic analyses consistently recovered six statistically well-supported clades whose relationships are not entirely in agreement with currently recognized species limits in M. watsonii and M. atricapilla. Morphometric analyses did not detect significant differences among clades. High plumage variation among individuals within clades was usually associated with the presence of two or more color morphs. By contrast, vocal analyses detected significant differentiation among some clades but considerable overlap among others, with some lineages (particularly the most widespread one) exhibiting significant regional variation. The combined results allow for a redefinition of species limits in both M. watsonii and M. atricapilla, with the recognition of four additional species, two of which we describe here as new. We estimated most cladogenesis in the Megascops atricapilla-M. watsonii complex as having taken place during the Plio-Pleistocene, with the development of the modern Amazonian and Sao Francisco drainages and the expansion and retraction of forest biomes during interglacial and glacial periods as likely events accounting for this relatively recent burst of diversification.Peer reviewe

Host life-history traits predict haemosporidian parasite prevalence in tanagers (Aves: Thraupidae)

Vector-borne parasites are important ecological drivers influencing life-history evolution in birds by increasing host mortality or susceptibility to new diseases. Therefore, understanding why vulnerability to infection varies within a host clade is a crucial task for conservation biology and for understanding macroecological life-history patterns. Here, we studied the relationship of avian life-history traits and climate on the prevalence of Plasmodium and Parahaemoproteus parasites. We sampled 3569 individual birds belonging to 53 species of the family Thraupidae. Individuals were captured from 2007 to 2018 at 92 locations. We created 2 phylogenetic generalized least-squares models with Plasmodium and Parahaemoproteus prevalence as our response variables, and with the following predictor variables: climate PC1, climate PC2, body size, mixed-species flock participation, incubation period, migration, nest height, foraging height, forest cover, and diet. We found that Parahaemoproteus and Plasmodium prevalence was higher in species inhabiting open habitats. Tanager species with longer incubation periods had higher Parahaemoproteus prevalence as well, and we hypothesize that these longer incubation periods overlap with maximum vector abundances, resulting in a higher probability of infection among adult hosts during their incubation period and among chicks. Lastly, we found that Plasmodium prevalence was higher in species without migratory behaviour, with mixed-species flock participation, and with an omnivorous or animal-derived diet. We discuss the consequences of higher infection prevalence in relation to life-history traits in tanagers.Fil: Aguiar de Souza Penha, Victor.

Austrophilopterus cancellosus Carriker 1903, New Synonymy

1. Austrophilopterus cancellosus (Carriker 1903) (Figs. 1–5) Docophorus cancellosus Carriker 1903: 132. Type host: " Ramphastos toucard " = R. swainsonii Gould. Material. COLOMBIA: 2 males, 3 females, Bellavista, Santander N. (MAC­ 4643; 1943); 1 male, 1 female, San Alberto (33472; 1961). COSTA RICA: 1 female, Guapilas (MAC­ 515; 1903). PANAMA: 1 male, 1 female, Prov. de Panama, 49 km NNE Panama City, confluence of Rio Chargres and Rio Chagrecito, 0 9 21.44 'N, 79 19.18 'W (VGR­ 187; 2002); 1 male, 2 females, Colon, Achiote Road at Rio Providencia (DLD­ 5968; 1997); 1 male, La Laguna (200157; 1963); 1 female, Barro Colo (JVT­ 379; 1927); 1 male, Cerro Bruja (JHP; 1912). Remarks. The description of this species was based on 2 males and 2 females, with meaningful details lacking, other than statements regarding dimensions, coloration, thickenings, and general shape. Furthermore, there was no comparison of it to other louse taxa. The single illustration for a dorsal female is consistent, as far as it shows, with our material. Austrophilopterus cancellosus subsimilis Carriker 1950: 166. Type host: Ramphastos sulfuratus sulfuratus Lesson. New Synonymy. Material. MEXICO: Holotype male, allotype female, 2 males, 3 females, Chiapas, Rio de las Playas (2 collections; WRW; 1943); 6 males, 5 females, Campeche, 24 km S Silvituc, 18 14 ’N, 90 12 ’W (DHC, PI­ 3 and 4; 1998); 2 males, 4 females, Veracruz, Tres Zapotas (MAC­ 517; 1940). Remarks. Described by Carriker from only a male/female pair and said to be “Very close to cancellosus ”, with only trivial insignificant morphological and dimensional differences given. Austrophilopterus cancellosus similis Carriker 1950: 167. Type host: Ramphastos ambiguus ambig­ uus Swainson. New Synonymy. Material. PERU: Holotype male, Chaupe (MAC­ 7094; 1933); allotype female, 2 female paratypes, Rio Jelashte (MAC­ 5930; 1932); 1 male, Loreto, nr. Funda Sinchora Cordillera Azul (JDW: JJH­ 496; 1967); 1 female, Huanuco, Divisoria in Cordillera Azul (JDW: JWE­ 129; 1967). COLOMBIA: 1 male, Cauca, Moscopan (MAC; 1958). Remarks. This subspecies was described from a type series of 3 females and the holotype male stated to be so poor that no detailed genitalic study was possible. Carriker emphasized the unique shape of the female subgenital plate, but this was a misinterpretation of its shape, which is little different from those of other females. Austrophilopterus cancellosus cuvieri Carriker 1950: 168. Type host: " Ramphastos c. cuvieri Wagler" = R. tucanus cuvieri Wagler. New Synonymy. Material. PERU: Holotype male, allotype female, 5 male, 3 female paratypes, Huacamayo (MAC­ 4152; 1931); 1 male, 3 females, Loreto, ca. 54 km NNW mouth Rio Morona on W bank, 0 4 16 ' 51 "S, 77 14 ' 16 "W (KE­ 184; 2001); 1 male, 2 females, Loreto, 7 km SW Jeberos, 0 5 18 ' 48 "S, 76 16 ' 32 "W (KE­ 112 and JLK­ 278; 2001); 1 male, 2 females, Loreto, 86 km SE Juanjui on E bank upper Rio Pauya, 0 7 35 ' 10 "S, 75 56 '01"W (TV­ 233 and DFL­ 1252; 2000); 11 males, 7 females, Yessup (MAC­ 1056; 1930). BRAZIL: 2 males, 3 females, Mato Grosso, S bank Rio Cristalino, 0.80 km upriver from confluence with Rio Teles Pires, 33 km NE Alta Floresta, 0 9 37 ' 51 "S, 55 55 ' 26 "W (JDW­ 231 and JDW­ 244; 1999); 1 male, 2 females, Pará, ca. 139 km SSW Santarém, W of Rio Tapajós, Alto Arapiuns (JDW­ 458; 2000); 1 female, Est. Amazonas (EAH; 1930); 1 female, Amazonas, Fazenda Toshiba, ca. 8 km NE Careiro, 0 3 47 'S, 60 17 'W (JDW­ 483; 2000); Remarks. Stated by Carriker as very close to A. cancellosus, with most dimensions within the limits of individual variation. The shape of the dorsoanterior head plate and the illustration of the female terminalia do not contribute to its identification. Even though Carriker had available “numerous specimens of both sexes”, his observations in typical fashion were apparently limited to the type pair. Austrophilopterus cancellosus incae Carriker 1950: 169. Type host: " Ramphastos cuvieri inca (Gould)" = R. tucanus inca Gould. New Synonymy. Material. BOLIVIA: Holotype male, allotype female, 4 male, 5 female paratypes, Chiñiri (MAC­ 9752; 1934); 3 males, 1 female, Huanay (MAC­ 9494; 1934); 1 male, Sta. Ana, Rio Corosca (MAC­ 9388; 1934). Remarks. With a type series of 3 specimens of each sex, Carriker mentioned that this “...was much smaller in almost all measurements than...the other races.” However, this does not hold true when considering material beyond the type pair. Austrophilopterus cancellosus minor Carriker 1950: 170. Type host: " Ramphocelus vitellinus Lich­ tenstein" = Ramphastos vitellinus vitellinus M. H. K. Lichtenstein. New Synonymy. Material. TRINIDAD: Holotype male, allotype female, 2 male, 2 female paratypes, Heights of Aripo (MAC­ 5281; 1909). BRAZIL: 3 males, 3 females, Amapá (PSH­ 100318; 1964); 1 female, Amapá, Rio Cuiciras (JDW: MPEG­ 48179; 1990); 2 males, 4 females, Roraima, Mucajai, Colônia do Apiau, 20 34 'N, 61 18 'W (JDW: MPEG­ 45747 and 45748; 1990); 1 female, Pará, N of Amazon River, lower Rio Curuá, ca. 30 km N of Curuá, Pacoval Village (JDW­ 469; 2000). Remarks. Carriker claimed this subspecies to be “...the smallest of the known races of cancellosus ”, but comparison with other specimens does not support this. Also, he noted that all 3 of his females were so distorted in mounting as to make it impossible to illustrate the abdomen. Austrophilopterus seminirmus Eichler 1954: 30. Type host: Ramphastos vitellinus ariel Vigors. New Synonymy. Material. BRAZIL: 1 male, 2 females, Pará, Fazenda Morelândia, 8 km N. of Santa Barbara do Pará, 0 1 12 ' 40 "S, 48 14 ' 47 "W (AA­ 620; 2000); 1 male, 2 females, São Paulo, ca. 40 km SW Sete Barras, 24 14.28 'S, 48 04.94'W (JDW­ 435; 2000); 1 female, Maranhão, Municipio Turiaçu, Bom Jesus da Mata (JDW: MPEG­ 34942; 1983). Remarks. Eichler's description, based on 16 lice from the type host, contained no illustrations or dimensions, and consisted only of brief verbiage in tabular form comparing this taxon to A. c. incae. The sum total of the value of this is meaningless and reliance must be placed on our material from the type host being representative of this taxon. Austrophilopterus cancellosus caurensis Carriker in Carriker and Diaz­Ungria 1961: 43. Type host: Ramphastos tucanus tucanus L. New Synonymy. Material. BRAZIL: 2 males, 2 females, no locality (DB­ 6; 1965); 2 males, 3 females, Pará, Fazenda Morelandia, 8 km N. of Santa Barbara do Pará, 0 1 12 ' 40 "S, 48 14 ' 47 "W (JDW­ 284; 1999). GUYANA: 1 female, Kartago Pt. (JH; 1984). Remarks. With a type series of 2 males and 3 females, Carriker limited his comparison only to A. c. incae, giving no useful features for separation.

This species is separated from A. flavirostris Carriker by the male of the former lacking a median separation between the tergal plates on VII and having a penis length 0.090–0.130 (mean = 0.1054). The females are virtually inseparable, with a suggestion of difference in that the mean number of sternal setae for all segments of A. cancellosus is smaller than for A. flavirostris. While these separations are certainly not profound, the recognition of these 2 as separate species is further supported by A. cancellosus being limited to hosts in the genus Ramphastos and A. flavirostris limited to hosts in the genus Pteroglossus.Published as part of Price, Roger D. & Weckstein, Jason D., 2005, The genus Austrophilopterus Ewing (Phthiraptera: Philopteridae) from toucans, toucanets, and araçaris (Piciformes: Ramphastidae), pp. 1-18 in Zootaxa 918 on pages 3-7, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.17107

Gmelin), the White-necked Puffbird.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;b&gt;Description.&lt;/b&gt; Head shaped much as in Fig. 9, with marginal carina having irregular inner border. Tergites II&ndash;IV each with 2 tergocentral setae; V, 3; VI&ndash;VIII, 4. Male tergite IX (Fig. 22) with very long heavy seta at each lateroposterior corner in addition to usual very long more median seta; both tergites VIII and IX medially narrowed. Male subgenital plate as in Fig. 23; genitalia as in Fig. 24, with an extremely short penis. Male dimensions: TW, 0.37; HL, 0.42; CI, 1.14; PW, 0.22; MW, 0.33; AWV, 0.44; GL, 0.25; PL, 0.015; TL, 1.43.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;b&gt;Type material.&lt;/b&gt; Ex &lt;i&gt;N. macrorhynchos,&lt;/i&gt; holotype male (DNA voucher 1.13.2003.19), PERU: Dpto. Loreto, 86 km SE Juanjui on upper Rio Pauya, 7&deg; 35&rsquo; 10&rdquo; S, 75&deg; 56&rsquo; 1&rdquo; W, (LSUMZ, JPO- 8121, 8 August 2000).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;b&gt;Remarks.&lt;/b&gt; Although this new species is based only on a single male louse, the unique small penis structure and the details of the posterior tergal sclerites make us confident of its distinctness. The chaetotaxy of tergite IX is similar to that of &lt;i&gt;P. faucetti&lt;/i&gt; (Fig. 19), but the differences in penis size and the shape of the inner border of the marginal head carina enable easy separation.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;b&gt;Etymology.&lt;/b&gt; This species is named for John P. O&rsquo;Neill in recognition of his generous assistance to students of Neotropical Ornithology and his collecting specimens vital to this and other studies of lice.&lt;/p&gt;Published as part of &lt;i&gt;Price, Roger D. &amp; Weckstein, Jason D., 2006, Picicola Clay and Meinertzhagen (Phthiraptera: Philopteridae) from jacamars and puffbirds (Piciformes: Galbulidae, Bucconidae), with descriptions of five new species, pp. 37-50 in Zootaxa 1367&lt;/i&gt; on pages 45-46, DOI: &lt;a href="http://zenodo.org/record/174824"&gt;10.5281/zenodo.174824&lt;/a&gt
