Influences of carrier sex, body size, and time on the symbiotic interaction between Nicrophorus vespilloides and the Uroobovella nova mite species complex

Abstract Phoretic dispersal is critical in low-mobile invertebrates because it enables feeding, breeding, and gene flow. Phoresy may have serious evolutionary consequences for species in highly specific interactions. Mites within the Uroobovella nova species complex have a narrow range of carriers l...
