Abstract:
... To date, relatively few data have been available regarding the parasitism of water mite larvae on caddisflies; most available information relates to the adult stadia, fewer to caddisfly larvae, with just single references to pupae. The present paper examines the occurrence (phoresy and parasitism) of Piona stjordalensis larvae (119 individuals) on the larvae and pupae of Mystacides longicornis. It ...

Abstract:
... Phoresy is commonly considered to be a commensal interaction, in which one species hitches a ride upon a different species for dispersal among resource patches. Despite being ubiquitous, phoretic interactions are poorly investigated, limiting our current understanding of its ecological and evolutionary consequences. Furthermore, phoresy can be a precursor for different types of symbiotic interacti ...

Abstract:
... Oribatid mites are tiny arthropods that are common in all soils of the world; however, they also occur in microhabitats above the soil such as lichens, mosses, on the bark of trees and in suspended soils. For understanding oribatid mite community structure, it is important to know whether they are dispersal limited. The aim of this study was to investigate the importance of oribatid mite dispersal ...

Abstract:
... Phoresy, the use of another organism for dispersal, is one of the most intriguing commensalistic interactions. The selection of a correct host is fundamental for phoretic organisms to ensure arrival to suitable habitats and to encounter potential mates. This study focuses on a group of phoretic mites in the genus Lasioseius (Acari: Blattisociidae). In La Selva Biological Station, a tropical wet fo ...

One phoretic female of Lamprochernes chyzeri (Tömösváry, 1883) was attached to the leg of a lance fly (Lonchaeidae ...

Abstract:
... The tarsonemid Polyphagotarsonemus latus (Banks), an obligatorily phytophage, is a leading pest of the oilseed crop Jatropha curcas L. (physic nut), potentially reducing its yield. We explored interaction between P. latus and winged insects associated with J. curcas, particularly the whitefly (Bemisia tabaci [Gennadius, 1889]), considering the site of P. latus adherence, the sex of adhered individ ...

Abstract:
... Parasitic lineages have acquired suites of new traits compared to their nearest free-living relatives. When and why did these traits arise? We can envision lineages evolving through multiple stable intermediate steps such as a series of increasingly exploitative species interactions. This view allows us to use non-parasitic species that approximate those intermediate steps to uncover the timing an ...

Subfamilies Nemognathinae and Meloinae exhibit a complex life cycle involving multiple metamorphoses and para ...

Abstract:
... Phoresy is a biologically mechanical phenomena where an immobile organism hitches on a other mobile organism to translocate. This behaviour is not studied very well on the field level especially between two important parasites infesting the same host. Parasite/parasite interaction is rarely studied through most biological host-parasite systems. Here, we evaluated the phoretic relation between para ...
