Body size‐dependent effects on the distribution patterns of phoretic mite species assemblages on Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier, 1790)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2023
Phoretic mites attach to different body parts of the red palm weevil (RPW), Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier, 1790), to disperse. However, the question of how the patterns of attachment sites are formed remains intriguing.

Riding into the future on a fly: toward a better understanding of phoresy and avian lice evolution (Phthiraptera) by screening bird carcasses for phoretic lice on hippoboscid flies (Diptera)

open access: yes, 2021
Many phoretic relationships between insects are understudied because of taxonomic impediments. We here illustrate for avian lice riding on hippoboscid flies how new natural history data on phoretic relationships can be acquired quickly with NGS barcoding.

Putting the waste out: a proposed mechanism for transmission of the mycoparasite Escovopsis between leafcutter ant colonies [PDF]

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2017
The attine ant system is a remarkable example of symbiosis. An antagonistic partner within this system is the fungal parasite Escovopsis, a genus specific to the fungal gardens of the Attini.

Paleoethology : fossilized behaviours in amber [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
When organisms became trapped in sticky resin they usually expired so quickly that they could fossilize in almost lifelike circumstances. Based on frequent description in literature of many examples we propose in this paper a classification of these ...

A Deadly Ride: The Interaction Between the Tortoise Beetle Botanochara impressa and the Parasitoid Wasp Emersonella niveipes

open access: yesAustral Ecology, Volume 50, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Parasitoid insects can significantly influence the dynamics of terrestrial ecosystems due to their interactions with phytophagous insects. Tortoise beetles (Cassidinae s. str., Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae) are one of the most parasitized groups of Coleoptera.

Incidental pollination by passing animals: An overlooked mechanism?

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