Combined heat and drought affect the abundance, composition and diversity of subalpine surface‐active soil arthropod communities

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 98-112, February 2026.
We applied factorial soil warming and moisture reduction treatments directly in the field in the Australian subalpine to assess changes to surface‐active soil arthropod abundance, diversity and community composition. After identifying nearly 50,000 specimens to order, we found a stronger effect of sampling month than treatment.

Ecology and Host Associations of \u3ci\u3eHistiogaster Arborsignis\u3c/i\u3e (Acari: Acaridae) in the Great Lakes Region, Particularly in the Huron Mountains of Northern Michigan [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Histiogaster arborsignis is recorded from subcortical habitats and fungal fruiting bodies in the Huron Mountains of northern Michigan. Deutonymphs were collected from 15 species of Coleoptera, Hymenoptera and Diptera. Additional host and locality records

Vegetation biomass and landscape context influence web‐building spider dietary breadth in urban vacant lots

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 126-140, February 2026.
Spider dietary breadth and overlap increased with imperviousness, suggesting that prey and spiders are concentrating in vacant lots in these landscapes. Higher vegetation biomass, which results from reduced mowing frequency, was associated with increased dietary breadth and shared prey between spiders.

Niche dimensions in soil oribatid mite community assembly under native and introduced tree species

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
Forest soils are a critical component of terrestrial ecosystems and host a large number of animal decomposer species. One diverse and abundant decomposer taxon is oribatid mites (Acari: Oribatida), whose species composition varies with forest type and ...

How the small host the small: cryptogam trait‐mediated structuring of Antarctic microarthropod communities

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.
Primary producers shape terrestrial biodiversity, but most research has focused on vascular plants, while the role of cryptogams (mosses, lichens and algae) remains under‐explored. Cryptogams dominate Antarctic vegetation and support diverse microarthropod communities. However, how cryptogam traits influence these communities remains poorly understood.

A Catalogue of Oribatida Types of the “Balogh Collection” in the Hungarian Natural History Museum (Arachnida, Acariformes) [PDF]

open access: yesOpuscula Zoologica Instituti Zoosystematici et Oecologici Universitatis Budapestinensis
Academician János Balogh was one of the most outstanding acarologists of his time. During his collecting expeditions around the world, he amassed an internationally significant collection of mites and described more than 1,000 species of oribatid mites.

Exon-intron structure and sequence variation of the calreticulin gene among Rhipicephalus sanguineus group ticks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Background: Calreticulin proteins (CRTs) are important components of tick saliva, which is involved in the blood meal success, pathogen transmission and host allergic responses.

Plant functional traits affect invertebrate predator diversity via bottom‐up effects in a deadwood‐based food web

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 1, Page 128-139, January 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Bottom‐up effects play a critical role in shaping community structure and trophic interactions within detritus‐based food webs. Coarse deadwood supports high biodiversity and contributes to detrital food webs during its decomposition process.
