However, flies do not come alone; some of them will get to carrion with lots of
phoretic mites attached to them (Perotti et al.
However, the combination of the wide distribution range of the species and its presence under tree bark, in tree hollows and nests; i.e., the habitat typical for
phoretic species, suggests that C.

Phoretic behaviour of bromeliad annelids (Dero) and ostracods (Elpidium) using frogs and lizards as dispersal vectors.
For practical reasons it was not possible to examine the interior of fissures, or undertake trapping of bats to ascertain whether the flies are
phoretic as adults, a possibility that appears unlikely given that Mormotomyia lacks the modified tarsal claws apparent in fly families known to be
phoretic or ectoparasitic on bats (Kirk-Spriggs et al.
putrescentiae and the bees is parasitic or
phoretic. It is likely that the mites are introduced into the honey bee colonies by worker bees foraging for pollen and nectar in the environment, or even by mere contact with the moist soil in search of water (OConnor and Klimov, 2003).

(4,7) This
phoretic relationship compensates for the disadvantages of small size in longdistance migration and the lack of morphologic adaptation (eg, wings) for independent migration.
In some instances
phoretic associations have been re-evaluated and judged to be parasitic (Jacobsen, 1998).
