“…So far, the work of Sibley and Ahlquist (1990) is the most comprehensive attempt at phylogeny reconstruction for birds. Generally, their hypotheses provide a good match with our results for feather mites phylogenies Ehrnsberger, 1995, 1998;Dabert and Mironov, 1999;Mironov, 1998;Mironov and Dabert, 1999). For charadriiform birds we also tested a more detailed phylogeny reconstruction, prepared by Chu (1995).…”

“…Both hypotheses of relationships (Mironov, 1995;Dabert and Mironov, 1999) agree on the recognition of two distinct groupings within the subfamily, the Avenzoaria-like genera and the Bychovskiata-like genera (Figs. 1A and 1B).…”

“…The first attempt to study relationships among feather mites was a phenetic analysis on the family Eustathiidae performed over 20 years ago (Moss et al, 1977). Phylogenetic studies using cladistic analyses are very recent Ehrnsberger, 1995, 1998;Dabert and Mironov, 1999;Mironov, 1991aMironov, ,b, 1995Mironov and Dabert, 1999). All of these analyses were based on external morphological characters only.…”

“…Also ectoparasites play important roles in the lives of birds. Feather mites are highly specialised plumage and skin ectoparasites that are variously adapted for inhabiting certain microhabitats on a bird's body (Dabert & Mironov, 1999) Feather mites Pterolichus obtusus (Astigmata: Pterolichidae) were found in the 2 dead black grouse feathers from monitored area in 2003. There were 40 mites in 20 g of feathers (2 mites in 1g) and 13 mites in 1 g of feathers, respectively.…”

78 SummaryAccording to the newest data (2010), the state of the black grouse is in decline in the Czech Republic. One of the reasons for this decline is the parasitic infection. The examination of 170 faecal specimens disclosed 6 species of parasites. Helminth eggs were found in 50 % of the examined faecal specimens. The following eggs were found: cestode Hymenolepis spp. (28 %), with the highest prevalence (84 %) and mean intensity (1076 EPG) in spring; nematodes Trichostrongylus tenuis (24 %), and Ascaridia compar (3 %) with a mean intensity of 11 and 12 EPG, respectively. Coccidia infections were present in 1 % of faecal specimens only in spring, with an intensity of 35 OPG. However, in the following year, Eimeria lyruri was the most abundant parasite in the faecal specimens. During the second year of our research, the prevalence of E. lyruri was 28 %; the highest prevalence (67 %) was in summer with an intensity of up to 9433 OPG.

“…Species of feather mites show variation in their morphological structures depending on the microhabitat and host specificity (Dabert and Mironov, 1999). About 2,500 species of feather mites have been recorded from all recent orders of Aves (Gaud and Atyeo, 1996;Proctor, 2003;Mironov and Proctor, 2008).…”

Specimens of Z. larica and A. ardeae were collected from feathers of blacktailed gulls from Dokdo Island and little egrets from Eumseonggun, respectively, using a vacuum machine. Collected mites were preserved di rectly in 95% ethyl alcohol. The mite specimens were cleared by lactic acid for 24 h and then mounted on micro Dubinin, 1949 and Ardeacarus Dubinin, 1951 are new to this country. Here, we provided morphological descriptions and illustrations of these two species. Additionally, we provide the partial sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) as DNA barcode markers.
