Phoresis in fluids [PDF]

Physical Review E, 2011
This paper presents a unified theory of phoretic phenomena in single-component fluids. Simple formulas are given for the phoretic velocities of small inert force-free non-Brownian particles migrating through otherwise quiescent single-component gases and liquids and animated by a gradient in the fluid's temperature (thermophoresis), pressure ...

No rest for resting spores: Can predators mitigate clubroot disease?

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 2, Issue 2, Page 131-139, June 2023., 2023
Soil microbiome predators are key players in nutrient cycling and in shaping the microbiome. Their potential use as biocontrol agents remains mainly unexplored. Using clubroot disease of Brassica crops as an example, we review the potential direct and indirect impacts microbiome predators can have on soil‐borne plant diseases.

Association of Fig Pollinating Wasps and Fig Nematodes inside Male and Female Figs of a Dioecious Fig Tree in Sumatra, Indonesia

Insects, 2022
Nematodes can grow within the inflorescences of many fig trees (Ficus spp., Moraceae); however, the feeding behaviour of most nematodes is not known. Fig pollinating wasps (Hymenoptera: Agaonidae) transfer nematodes into young figs upon the wasps’ entry ...

Developmental Plasticity and the Evolutionary Rescue of a Colonizing Mite. [PDF]

Evol Dev
The study investigates the role of plasticity in small populations during evolutionary rescue, using the bulb mite Rhizoglyphus robini. It explores whether phenotype dynamics of colonizing populations comprising only dispersers (deutonymphs) are due to a selective process (plasticity exposing genetic variation) or a generative process (developmental ...

Nematodes as suppressors and facilitators of plant performance

New Phytologist, Volume 238, Issue 6, Page 2305-2312, June 2023., 2023
Summary Plant–nematode interactions are mainly considered from the negative aspect with a focus on plant‐parasitic nematodes (PPNs), which is justified considering the agronomic losses caused by PPNs. Despite the fact that PPNs are outnumbered by nonparasitic free‐living nematodes (FLNs), the functional importance of FLNs, especially with regard to ...

Dispersal Capabilities Do Not Parallel Ecology and Cryptic Speciation in European Cheliferidae Pseudoscorpions (Pseudoscorpiones: Cheliferidae)

Diversity, 2023
The ability to disperse has continually shaped both the distribution and diversification of biota, and it affects the survival of the species with respect to wide-ranging habitat loss.

Phoretic association between larvae of Rheotanytarsus (Diptera: Chironomidae) and genera of Odonata in a first-order stream in an area of Atlantic Forest in southeastern Brazil

Zoologia (Curitiba), 2009
In this note, the occurrence of phoresy between larvae of Rheotanitarsus sp. (Diptera: Chironomidae) and larvae of Heteragrion sp. (Odonata: Megapodagrionidae) and of unidentified genera of Calopterygidae (Odonata) collected in a first-order stream in an

Field Translocation of Mountain Pine Beetles Suggests Phoretic Mite Communities Are Locally Adapted, and Mite Populations Respond Variably to Climate Warming

Insects, 2021
Temperature is a key determining factor in the population dynamics of forest insects and their associated biota. Bark beetles, often considered key agents of change in forest ecosystems, are particularly affected by warming in their environment.
