A modified method for clearing, staining and mounting plant-inhabiting mites
European Journal of Entomology, 2008 A modified method for clearing, staining and mounting plant-inhabiting mites is proposed. With this method, all mites can be cleared with a single agent and mounted in a single medium.

Shared community history strengthens plant diversity effects on below-ground multitrophic functioning. [PDF]
J Anim EcolThe relationship between plant richness and below‐ground multitrophic functionality was stronger in communities with shared plant and soil community history. This work highlights the obscure role of below‐ground consumers on diversity–ecosystem functioning relationships.

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Silencing Prosbeta‐5 and Prosbeta‐1 resulted in high mortality in Tetranychus urticae, identifying them as potential target genes for double‐stranded RNA‐based biopesticides using spray‐induced gene silencing (SIGS). Abstract BACKGROUND Because of the excessive use of synthetic chemicals, the two‐spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch, a highly ...

PLOS ONE, 2021 Amblyseius eharaiis a generalist predatory mite that consumes spider mites, rust mites, thrips, and pollen, with a high adaptability to various plants. To better understand ecological and behavioral aspects of this species, we investigated its functional response to different stages of two-spotted spider mite,Tetranychus urticae.

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract How populations of ecosystem engineers are both driven by and drive biodiversity is poorly known, even less so in detrital subsystems. Deadwood plays a key role in maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem functions.

Foraging activity by an ecosystem engineer, the superb lyrebird, ‘farms’ its invertebrate prey
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.We show that the superb lyrebird, an ecosystem engineer, undertakes a unique form of resource farming through its foraging activity. By modulating litter and soil habitats on the forest floor, lyrebirds create conditions conducive to their invertebrate prey, increasing richness and biomass and resulting in a remarkable farming feedback loop.
