First record of a phoresy between a scorpionfly and a pseudoscorpion (Mecoptera, Panorpidae and Arachnida, Pseudoscorpiones)
Original language description
Phoresy represents a non-parasitic association between animals of different taxa due to transportation, and may or may not be associated with the predatory behaviour of pseudoscorpions (Weygoldt 1969, Legg & Jones 1988). Pseudoscorpions could be found actually holding the appendages of carriers or riding on the bodies of arthropods (Beier 1948). The benefit for pseudoscorpions is to reach a new habitat with a potential food supply (Poinar et al. 1998). Poinar et al. (1998) summarized records of phoretic associations between pseudoscorpions and at least 44 insect families and three arachnid families. In Europe, phoresy is typical mainly for the families of Chernetidae and Cheliferidae (Beier 1948, Poinar et al. 1998).
