Phoresy in animals: review and synthesis of a common but understudied mode of dispersal
AW Bartlow, SJ Agosta - Biological Reviews, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Phoresy is a type of interaction in which one species, the phoront, uses another species, the
dispersal host, for transportation to new habitats or resources. Despite being a widespread …
