inquiline

This may represent an early phase in the development of the inquiline mode of life.

Polyergus is an inquiline parasite, having lost its ability to take care of its young and themselves.

This suggests M. colax might be an inquiline.

As with other members of the family, this insect lives its whole life cycle as an inquiline within ants' nests.

The larvae live as an inquiline in wasp galls on Quercus species.

Examples of the inquiline relation are known especially among the gall wasps (Cynipidae family).

Bird nests can also act as habitats for other inquiline species which may not affect the bird directly.

A common inquiline is another gall midge, Perrisia iteophila.

Ceroptres cerri is an inquiline of A. grossulariae.

Wasmannian mimicry refers to cases where the mimic resembles a model along with which it lives (inquiline) in a nest or colony.

An inquiline is the mite Eriophyes vermiformis that otherwise causes crinkling of hazel leaves.

Eventually, Polyergus ancestors lost the ability to take care of themselves and become the inquiline Polyergus we see today.

The fly Clinodiposis galliperda is often found as an inquiline within the agamic 'smooth spangle gall' generation.

In turn, these larvae may be parasitised by a chalcid wasp, Eurytoma rosae, which works its way from one inquiline's cell to the next.

It is one of many species that make up the inquiline community that thrives within the water-retaining pitcher-shaped leaves of S. purpurea.

The term inquiline has also been applied to aquatic invertebrates that spend all or part of their life cycles in phytotelma, water-filled structures produced by plants.

If you have several galls, more adults should emerge in the course of the next week or two, some of which may be the adults of inquiline insects.

The genus contains a number of inquiline species (commensal symbionts), other Myrmica species that manage to invade the nest of their host.

Protists, rotifers (including Habrotrocha rosa), and bacteria form the base of inquiline food web that shreds and mineralizes available prey, making nutrients available to the plant.

The diminutive inquiline snailfish (Liparis inquilinus) of the northwestern Atlantic is known to live out its life inside the mantle cavity of the scallop Placopecten magellanicus.

The chalcid wasps Eurytoma rosae and Glyphomerus stigma can attack both the larvae of D. rosae and of the inquiline P. brandtii.

In zoology, an inquiline (from Latin inquilinus, "lodger" or "tenant") is an animal that lives commensally in the nest, burrow, or dwelling place of an animal of another species.

It is probable that T. mitnicki, like modern species of Termitaradus, was inquiline, living in the nests of host species of termites, though the host species is unknown.

The larvae live as an inquiline in Cynipid galls on various plant species, including Andricus kollari, Andricus conglomeratus, Andricus hungaricus, Andricus lucidus and Aphelonyx cerricola.

Silk button galls also have Synergus albipes as an inquiline and examples of hyperparasites include; Aulogymnus gallarum, Mesopolobus fasciventris, M. tibialis, Pediobius lysis and Torymus flavipes.
