Association between neotropical burrowing spiders (araneae: nemesiidae) and mites (acari: heterostigmata, scutacaridae) [PDF]
Whilst collecting burrowing spiders of the family Nemesiidae from 16 localities in Argentina, phoretic mites were found on Stenoterommata iguazu, Stenoterommata platense and Stenoterommata uruguai.

Incidental pollination by passing animals: An overlooked mechanism?
The conservation of pollinators is essential for sustaining the ecosystem services of pollen transfer, which support crop production, biodiversity conservation and ecosystem health. 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]
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.

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.
