1923L. O. Howard in Entomol. News XXXIV. 90 (heading) An interesting new case of phoresie. 1927― in Ibid. XXXVIII. 145 In 1896 P. Lesne..proposed the name phorésie..to describe the carriage of small insects by larger insects without the actual feeding of the smaller upon the larger in the adult stage... It is proposed to give it the English form, phoresy. Apparently, in this form it has not occurred in the English language, although the word phoresis is used by electricians to express the conduction of substances dissolved in a liquid through a membrane by means of a current. 1942E. O. Essig College Entomol. xxxiv. 663 The remarkable phenomenon of phoresy occurs in the case of Rielia manticida Kieffer, the adult females of which attach themselves to the body of the praying mantid. 1962J. D. Smyth Introd. Animal Parasitol. i. 3 Phoresis. This term is used for a particular type of association in which one organism merely provides shelter, support or transport for another organism of a different species. Ibid., In phoresis..there is no metabolic dependence of either of the associates on the other. 1965B. E. Freeman tr. Vandel's Biospeleol. xv. 245 Phoresy or epizoism, that is to say the fixation of a plant or animal species on to the surface of another oganism without the first living at the expense of the second. Ibid. 248 The ciliates may be divided into internal parasites, and epizoic or phoretic types which do not live at the expense of their hosts. 1969R. F. Chapman Insects xvii. 327 An association in which an animal of one species provides transport for another species is known as phoresy. |
