Birds are islands for parasites.

Biology letters - 1 Aug 2014

Koop Jennifer A H, DeMatteo Karen E, Parker Patricia G, Whiteman Noah K

Abstract excerpt

Understanding the mechanisms driving the extraordinary diversification of parasites is a major challenge in evolutionary biology. Co-speciation, one proposed mechanism that could contribute to this diversity is hypothesized to result from allopatric co-divergence of host-parasite populations. We found that island populations of the Galápagos hawk (Buteo galapagoensis) and a parasitic feather louse species...
