Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.The biology of gall‐forming fergusoninid flies and their obligate nematode mutualists suggests strict vertical transmission of nematodes between fly generations. Using mitochondrial sequence data to associate fly and nematode haplotypes, we found widespread intraspecific horizontal transfer in multiple species.

THE PHORESY OF THE LOUSE MALLOPHAGA ON THE POPULATION OF THE LOUSE-FLY HIPPOBOSCIDAE
Российский паразитологический журнал, 2016 Objective of research: To study the role of phoresy of the louse Mallophaga on the population of the louse-fly Hippoboscidae.Material and methods: In 1997–2015 more than 10000 birds were caught; from them about 2000 louse-flies Hippoboscidae were ...

Clustering of particles in turbulence due to phoresis [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2016 We demonstrate that diffusiophoretic, thermophoretic, and chemotactic phenomena in turbulence lead to clustering of particles on multifractal sets that can be described using one single framework, valid when the particle size is much smaller than the smallest length scale of turbulence l_{0}.

Bromelicolous Habit and Phoresy of Ostracoda in a Species of Treefrog From the Brazilian Cerrado
Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 5, May 2026.ABSTRACT Some plants develop phytotelmata, specialized structures that retain water and form small aquatic ecosystems harbouring diverse organisms. Bromeliads (Bromeliaceae) are classic examples, as their leaf axils provide suitable habitats for bacteria, algae, protozoa, invertebrates and vertebrates, including anurans.

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 3, March 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Blister beetles (Coleoptera: Meloidae) exhibit complex life cycles, strong host dependencies, and unusual dispersal strategies, yet community‐level ecological analyses remain rare. We aimed to identify the environmental drivers of Meloidae assemblage structure and species richness, assess whether species responses are taxonomically ...

A catalogue of heterostigmatic mites (Acari: Trombidiformes) of Iran
Persian Journal of Acarology, 2023 In this study, we conducted a comprehensive review of all heterostigmatic mites that have previously been recorded from Iran. Thus far, 319 species, 70 genera, 12 families and 6 superfamilies of Heterostigmata (Acari: Prostigmata) (of 2265 known world ...

Diversity of Chewing Lice (Insecta: Phthiraptera) in the Indo‐Burma Biodiversity Hotspot
Journal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.The diversity of birds is well documented globally. However, the same attention has generally not been given to their parasites, which comprise many times their diversity. Here, we present data from a large‐scale survey of chewing lice found infesting birds in the Indo‐Burma biodiversity hotspot of western Yunnan, China.

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 ...

Phoresis and Enhanced Diffusion Compete in Enzyme Chemotaxis [PDF]
Nano Letters, 2018 Chemotaxis of enzymes in response to gradients in the concentration of their substrate has been widely reported in recent experiments, but a basic understanding of the process is still lacking. Here, we develop a microscopic theory for chemotaxis, valid for enzymes and other small molecules.
