Collaborative research and training activities at the University of Utah's Price Institute for Phthirapteran Research and the Illinois Natural History Survey will result in the first comprehensive world catalog of chewing lice in half a century, a monographic revision of the family Goniodidae, and training a new generation of scientists with expertise in the taxonomy of chewing lice. Intensive field research will result in much new material and in important experiences for students in the project. Morphological and molecular data will be integrated to hypothesize a phylogeny for Goniodidae, and support the multi-authored monograph of the family. Chewing lice of are great interest because of their accessibility as models for population biology, parasitic adaptation, host selection, and co-speciation and because of their medical and veterinary importance. There are few living experts on chewing lice. This project will contribute directly to the training of one postdoctoral researcher and three doctoral students who will be involved in all aspects of the research from field work to taxonomic revisions and monography. Among the results will be web accessibility to a world catalog of chewing lice and the first modern, phylogenetic monograph of a large, important family of chewing lice.

犹他州普赖斯大学Phthirapteran研究所和伊利诺伊州自然历史调查局的合作研究和培训活动将产生半个世纪以来第一个全面的世界咀嚼虱目录，对Goniodidae家族进行专题修订，并培养新一代具有咀嚼虱分类学专业知识的科学家。 密集的实地研究将为项目中的学生带来许多新材料和重要经验。 形态学和分子数据将被整合，以假设一个生殖系统的戈尼奥蒂科，并支持多作者的专着的家庭。咀嚼虱是巨大的兴趣，因为它们的访问作为人口生物学，寄生适应，宿主选择和物种合作的模型，因为它们的医学和兽医的重要性。 几乎没有活着的嚼虱专家。 该项目将直接有助于培训一名博士后研究员和三名博士生，他们将参与从野外工作到分类学修订和专著的所有方面的研究。 其中的结果将是网络访问的世界目录咀嚼虱子和第一个现代的，系统发育专着的一个大的，重要的家庭咀嚼虱子。
