No Evidence That the Phoretic Mite Poecilochirus carabi Influences Mate Choice or Fitness in the Host Burying Beetle Nicrophorus nepalensis [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionMate choice is a fundamental aspect of sexual selection where the “chooser” chooses a “courter” by assessing a variety of traits that communicate potential fitness.

Kleptoparasitism and Phoresy in the Diptera
The Florida Entomologist, 1999 Spiders, dung-feeding scarabs, social, and prey-storing insects provide predictable and concentrated sources of food for a variety of thief flies (kleptoparasites) and their larvae. Whenever waiting in the vicinity of the "host" for an opportunity to exploit its resources is more energy efficient and less dangerous than foraging among hosts, a number ...

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.
