&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Abstract&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ectoparasites were collected from 35 live &lt;em&gt;Ardenna pacifica&lt;/em&gt; Gmelin chicks (wedge-tailed shearwaters) in October and November 2022 using a fumigant and plastic bag collection method. Additionally, 206 naturally-deceased post-fledging grounded birds were sampled opportunistically over eight years (2015&amp;ndash;2023), with fledglings collected during the fledging season (November &amp;ndash; December) and adults collected during the breeding season (May &amp;ndash; October). Eight species of Phthiraptera were documented in samples from these birds. While four species (&lt;em&gt;Halipeurus mirabilis&lt;/em&gt; Thompson&lt;em&gt;, Trabeculus hexakon&lt;/em&gt; Waterson&lt;em&gt;, Austromenopon paululum&lt;/em&gt; (Kellogg &amp;amp; Chapman)&lt;em&gt;,&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Naubates harrisoni&lt;/em&gt; Bedford) were present on chicks that had fledged and subsequently &amp;ldquo;fallen out&amp;rdquo;, only &lt;em&gt;H. mirabilis&lt;/em&gt; was present on chicks that had not yet fledged. &lt;em&gt;Saemundssonia puellula&lt;/em&gt; Timmermann, and &lt;em&gt;Longimenopon puffinus&lt;/em&gt; Thompson, were only collected from adult fallout birds in the spring. Of the recorded ectoparasites, four species (&lt;em&gt;H. mirabilis, T. hexakon, A. paululum,&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;N. harrisoni)&lt;/em&gt; constituted a species assemblage that did not significantly vary from year to year. Lice abundance and diversity varied across bird age classes (pre-fledging chicks, fledged chicks, adults), but a significant increase in lice abundance during 2015 coincided with a major El Ni&amp;ntilde;o event, suggesting that the ectoparasite loads may be affected by external conditions such as air temperature. There was also a significant increase in lice prevalence between pre-fledging and fledged chicks, which likely coincided with the lice hatching. These results underscore the consistency of lice assemblages on &lt;em&gt;A. pacifica,&lt;/em&gt; while highlighting the influence of endogenous (e.g., bird life history) and exogenous (e.g., weather) ecological factors.&lt;/p&gt;
