“…Currently, 174 species distributed in 66 genera and 16 families have been reported from Brazil (Ratton et al 2012;Harvey 2013;Von Schimonsky et al 2014;Harvey et al 2016;Viana et al 2018;Von Schimonsky and Bichuette 2019;Viana and Ferreira 2020). In the Northeast Region of Brazil, little research has been done on the pseudoscorpion fauna (e.g., Lira et al 2014;Lira and Tizo-Pedroso 2017). Most reports in the literature are from the North, Southeast, and South regions of the country (Harvey 2013).…”

In the course of ongoing research on the pseudoscorpion fauna in the northeastern region of Brazil, we compiled nine pseudoscorpion species with three of them, Geogarypus amazonicus, Apolpium ecuadorense, and Pachyolpium furculiferum, recorded for the first time from the Caatinga biome. Ecological comments are included, and the presence of G. amazonicus is discussed. Additionally, an updated checklist of all pseudoscorpion species and a map of the distribution of species richness for all biomes of Brazil are presented.

Phoresy Involving Insects as Riders or Rides: Life History, Embarkation, and Disembarkation

The ability to disperse is vital for all organisms, but especially for those whose habitats deteriorate, necessitating relocation to better feeding or breeding sites. Phoresy is assisted dispersal in which one organism uses another as its vehicle. In this review, phoresy will be largely restricted to cases wherein the rider is not parasitic on the vehicular stage used for dispersal, and in which insects are riders or rides. Phoresy occurs in organisms with limited mobility, and in secondarily brachypterous or completely wingless insects. Intraspecific phoresy also occurs. Generally, immature stages resistant to environmental assaults, such as dauers in nematodes, triungulins in beetles, or deutonymphs in mites, undertake phoresy. A size differential between rider and rider enables several conspecifics to board the same vehicle, likely ensuring mating opportunities at the destination. Riders may have special attachment devices or adhesive secretions to ensure safety during travel. Life cycles of riders and vehicles are often synchronized, and when phoresy is mutualistic, vehicles may also employ chemical tactics to achieve this synchrony. Chemical cues help to identify the appropriate vehicle, for disembarkation, or to lure the vehicle towards riders. Most riders prefer female vehicles, possibly to ensure access to rich nesting sites. Density-dependent selection may operate to limit the number of riders on a vehicle and phoresy may also facilitate sexual selection among riders. Whether vehicles can avoid phoresy is barely understood. This review attempts to place phoresy within a broad evolutionary context and points out the paucity of knowledge in certain research areas.
