The sugars and other substances in the urine crystallize cementing the various materials together, in addition to slowing down the decay of materials used to build the nest and to offer protection from predators. I’d imagine that the denser nest would prevent ectoparasites and the pseudoscorpion from entering the nest, because the urine acts as cement creating a thick wall of insulation. Even if the pseudoscorpion was to get into the nest via phoresy, the lack of ectorparasites would decrease the food supply available for the scorpions. That’s what I imagine happening, I could not find actual evidence.Brittneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09363655494266997381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4490037155917753470.post-66935928296569741672011-04-15T18:21:31.286-04:002011-04-15T18:21:31.286-04:00Unfortunately, I could not find a lot of informati...Unfortunately, I could not find a lot of information about how the pseudoscorpion encounters the packrat. However, I did find an article entitled Symbiotic Relationships between Pseudoscorpions and Packrats, published by the Journal of Arachnology that explains how the pseudoscorpion encounters the packrat from an evolutionary standpoint. The packrat brings food as well as materials for the construction of its nest into its habitat. As stated above, the packrat uses a wide range of resources to build its nest, including twigs, leaves, and rocks. The pseudoscorpion which typically lives on these same materials is accidently brought into the nest. Over time, the pseudoscorpion adapted to remain in the nest, where there was a stable supply of food.Brittneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09363655494266997381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4490037155917753470.post-57028610886160137872011-04-11T20:20:46.963-04:002011-04-11T20:20:46.963-04:00You said that the rats urinate on their nests to c...You said that the rats urinate on their nests to crystallize to fortify the building materials materials, but do the rats ever reach a point where their nest is so crystallized from their several layers of building, that insects can no longer get in therefore making the pseudoscorpion useless?Amanda Hutsellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14793183646726281044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4490037155917753470.post-66345560304382119382011-04-08T15:11:05.190-04:002011-04-08T15:11:05.190-04:00How do the pseudoscorpion get into contact with th...How do the pseudoscorpion get into contact with the packrats? DO they have a certain area or time in which the pseudoscropion is able to attach itself to the packrats? Is there any other insects in which can copy the appearance of the pseudoscorpion and cause distress to the packrats?Joe Liuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08533051907979950017noreply@blogger.com
