Exploring microbiome diversity between behavioural strategies in a facultatively parasitic mite [PDF]
ParasitologyParasitic arthropods often depend on symbiotic microbes to supplement their narrow diets. Facultative parasites exhibit variation in their parasitic activity and diet, and thus, might be expected to have greater variation in their microbial communities ...

Ancient Ephemeroptera-Collembola symbiosis fossilized in amber predicts contemporary phoretic associations. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 X-ray computed tomography is used to identify a unique example of fossilized phoresy in 16 million-year-old Miocene Dominican amber involving a springtail being transported by a mayfly.
