Quantifying the potential for wind and phoresy to drive off‐plant movement of crapemyrtle bark scale, Acanthococcus lagerstroemiae (Kuwana) (Hemiptera: Eriococcidae): Implications for spread in urban landscapes [PDF]
Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 26, Issue 2, Page 210-217, May 2024., 2023 After non‐native herbivores arrive in a novel habitat and establish, they must then disperse to new host plants to continue invading. While flight‐capable insect herbivores can expand their non‐native ranges by flying to new hosts, insects that lack ...

The oldest continuous association between astigmatid mites and termites preserved in Cretaceous amber reveals the evolutionary significance of phoresy. [PDF]
BMC Ecol EvolAmong minute-sized and wingless arthropods, astigmatid mites stand out for their diverse range of symbiotic associations (parasitic, neutral and mutualistic), with both invertebrate and vertebrate hosts.

Hitching a ride on a scorpion: the first record of phoresy of a myrmecophile pseudoscorpion on a myrmecophile scorpion [PDF]
Arachnologische Mitteilungen, 2023 . An observation of phoresy by pseudoscorpions on a scorpion host is recorded for the first time worldwide. Pseudoscorpions of the endemic species Nannowithius wahrmani (Beier, 1963) (Pseudoscorpiones: Withiidae) were observed phoretic on the endemic ...

First report of phoresy on snipe flies (Diptera: Rhagionidae): the chewing louse Damalinia meyeri (Psocodea: Phthiraptera: Trichodectidae) on Symphoromyia immaculata. [PDF]
J Insect SciPhoresy, the passive transport of an organism by another, is a well-documented strategy among flightless arthropods, particularly in species that exploit patchily distributed resources.

From host to host, and continent to continent: Two phoresy-enabled Guimaraesiella hitchhiker louse species revealed by integrative taxonomy (Phthiraptera: Ischnocera). [PDF]
Medical and Veterinary EntomologyThe 'core Guimaraesiella' comprise a morphologically rather homogeneous group of avian chewing lice (Phthiraptera), most of which remain undescribed.

Report of Sphenochernes camponoti (Beier, 1970) (Pseudoscorpiones, Chernetidae) in phoresy on Fanniidae (Diptera) [PDF]
Acta Scientiarum: Biological Sciences, 2017 Phoresy is a common dispersal behavior among pseudoscorpions. Neotropical pseudoscorpions, mainly from the North and Northeast regions of Brazil, are known for their dispersal relationships with beetles and flies.

Diversification dynamics of hypermetamorphic blister beetles (Meloidae): Are homoplastic host shifts and phoresy key factors of a rushing forward strategy to escape extinction? [PDF]
bioRxiv, 2021 Changes in life history traits, including reproductive strategies or host shifts, are often considered triggers of speciation, affecting diversification rates. Subsequently, these shifts can have dramatic effects on the evolutionary history of a lineage.
