Abstract

Abstract - Dispersal is an important factor in shaping ecosystems and patterns of biodiversity. However, animals use several different modes of dispersal, each of which can have varying impacts on the ecology and evolutionary history of a group. One of these modes is phoresy, when an animal (the phorant) will temporarily attach itself to another animal (the host) as a means of dispersal. This behavior has been described in many groups of animals, but very infrequently in the thrips (Insecta: Thysanoptera). Here, we report the collection of 2 species of live thrips, Hoplothrips sp. and Neohydatothrips variabilis, from 2 species of live birds, Cardinalis cardinalis (Northern Cardinal) and Zenaida macroura (Mourning Dove), respectively, in northeast Arkansas. Most previous records of thrips associated with birds were from nesting material or found on deceased birds. The presence of thrips on live birds suggests some thrips are phoretic on birds, or at the very least that interactions between thrips and birds are more frequent than previously assumed.

阿肯色州东北部与两种活鸟(红雀和大鸟)有亲缘关系的蓟马(昆虫纲:蓟翅目)

摘要:扩散是形成生态系统和生物多样性格局的重要因素。然而，动物使用几种不同的扩散模式，每种模式都会对一个群体的生态和进化历史产生不同的影响。其中一种模式是寄存，当一种动物(象)将自己暂时附着在另一种动物(宿主)身上，作为一种传播手段。这种行为在许多动物群体中都被描述过，但在蓟马(昆虫纲:蓟翅目)中却很少发生。在这里,我们报告的收集2种牧草虫生活,Hoplothrips sp.和Neohydatothrips摘要,从2种活禽,Cardinalis Cardinalis(红衣主教北部)和Zenaida macroura(哀鸠),分别在阿肯色州东北部。大多数与鸟类有关的蓟马的记录来自筑巢材料或在死去的鸟类身上发现的。蓟马在活鸟上的存在表明，一些蓟马在鸟类上是遗传的，或者至少蓟马和鸟类之间的相互作用比以前假设的要频繁。

期刊介绍： The Southeastern Naturalist covers all aspects of the natural history sciences of terrestrial, freshwater, and marine organisms and the environments of the southeastern portion of North America, roughly bounded from North Carolina south to Florida, west to Texas, north to Oklahoma, and east back to North Carolina. Manuscripts based on field studies outside of this region that provide information on species within this region may be considered at the Editor’s discretion.
