Hitchhiking through life: a review of phoresy in Uropodina mites (Parasitiformes: Mesostigmata)
The European Zoological Journal, 2023 Several important papers discussing phoretic dispersal in animals have appeared in recent years, but the nature and evolutionary significance of the phenomenon are still not fully understood.

Revista Chilena de Entomología, 2020 Some species of pseudoscorpions perform a mechanism known as phoresy, attach themselves to other organisms for transportation. In this work, Americhernes oblongus (Pseudoscorpiones: Chernetidae) is reported as a phoront on a species of fly belonging to ...

Progression of parasitism from phoresy in mites
International journal of zoology and applied biosciences, 2023 The mites are the smallest (less than a millimeter in length), the most diverse, and the most common of all arachnids. Mites are ubiquitous and inhabit all known terrestrial, marine, and freshwater habitats, including arctic and alpine extremes, tropical

First observation of potential phoresy between Planorbarius metidjensis and Ancylus fluviatilis (Gastropoda: Planorbidae) in Algeria [PDF]
Folia MalacologicaPhoresy, an ecological phenomenon in which one organism attaches itself to another for dispersal, has been observed in various species. In this study, we describe the potential occurrence of phoresy between Ancylus fluviatilis and Planorbarius ...

Seasonal phoresy as an overwintering strategy of a phytophagous mite [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2016 Migration by attachment to insects is common among mites that live in temporary habitats. However, because plants provide relatively stable habitats, phytophagous mites are generally not dependent on other animals for dispersal, so whether these mites ...

Nymphister kronaueri von Beeren & Tishechkin sp. nov., an army ant-associated beetle species (Coleoptera: Histeridae: Haeteriinae) with an exceptional mechanism of phoresy [PDF]
BMC Zoology, 2017 For more than a century we have known that a high diversity of arthropod species lives in close relationship with army ant colonies. For instance, several hundred guest species have been described to be associated with the Neotropical army ant Eciton ...

Phoresy in animals: review and synthesis of a common but understudied mode of dispersal
Biological Reviews of The Cambridge Philosophical Society, 2020 Phoresy is a type of interaction in which one species, the phoront, uses another species, the dispersal host, for transportation to new habitats or resources.
