Incidental pollination by passing animals: An overlooked mechanism?

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 5, Page 1245-1250, September 2025.

While primary pollinators have been the focus of most conservation efforts, subordinate or incidental pollinators have been largely overlooked.

Phoresis and Enhanced Diffusion Compete in Enzyme Chemotaxis [PDF]

open access: yesNano 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.

Phoretic mites do not affect burying beetle reproductive success, despite eliminating fly competitors

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 2, Page 351-359, April 2025.
Experimental exposure to carrion flies dramatically reduced reproductive success of Nicrophorus orbicollis, and phoretic mites reduced fly numbers, but flies did not affect mite numbers. Despite an absence of flies by the end of trials in treatments with mites, mites had no measured effect on Nicrophorus reproductive success.
