The expansion and loss of specific olfactory genes in relatives of parasitic lice, the stored-product psocids (Psocodea: Liposcelididae) by Jun Sun, Jian Wu, Sheng-Yuan Sun, Zhi-Dong Chen, Guy Smagghe, Jin-Jun Wang, Dan-Dan Wei

“…This increase may be due to the inability of parasitic lice to survive without a host, whereas booklice have a wide range of feeding habits and live in complex and variable environments. Furthermore, we observed that the IR gene family in L. tricolor has undergone a certain degree of amplification, which may facilitate its adaptation to diverse environmental conditions. …”
