Vegetation structure define mite assemblage on plants: a case study in Cerrado biome

open access: yesEntomological Communications, 2022
We compared abundance and richness of mites on Miconia albicans (Sw.) Steud. (Melastomataceae) found in Cerrado grassland (CGR) and in Cerrado sensu stricto (CSS), in order to evaluate the effect of plant physiognomy on mite assemblage structure, in the

Comprehensive phylogeny of acariform mites (Acariformes) provides insights on the origin of the four-legged mites (Eriophyoidea), a long branch

open access: yesMolecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2018
Eriophyoid, or four-legged mites, represent a large and ancient radiation of exclusively phytophagous organisms known from the Triassic (230 Mya). Hypothesizing phylogenetic relatedness of Eriophyoidea among mites is a major challenge due to the absence of unambiguous morphological synapomorphies, resulting in ten published hypotheses placing ...

New species of parasitic nasal mites infesting birds in Manitoba, Canada (Mesostigmata, Rhinonyssidae)

open access: yesZooKeys, 2018
Mites (Acari, Acariformes, Parasitiformes) are one of the most diverse and abundant groups of arthropods associated with birds. Several families of mites have colonised the respiratory tract of birds, the Rhinonyssidae (Mesostigmata) being the most ...

Proteonematalycus wagneri Kethley reveals where the opisthosoma begins in acariform mites

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2022
It is generally thought that the anterior border of the opisthosoma of acariform mites is delineated by the disjugal furrow, but there is no evidence to support this other than the superficial appearance of tagmosis in some oribatids.

Older Lineages of Oribatid Mites in Mountain Ranges Have Broader Geographic Ranges and Exhibit More Generalistic Traits

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 3, March 2025.
We investigated the radiation and trait diversity of soil oribatid mites from two mountain ranges (the Alps and Changbai Mountain). We found that phylogenetically older oribatid mites of mountain ranges have broader trophic variation, larger geographical range sizes, and more often reproduce via parthenogenesis.

Feeding Ecology of the Critically Endangered Gobio insuyanus (Gobionidae)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 3, March 2025.
This study investigates the diet of the critically endangered Gobio insuyanus in the Insuyu spring–stream system, revealing omnivorous feeding habits with a preference for detritus, Gammarids, and Diptera larvae. Ontogenetic dietary shifts were observed, with mature individuals specializing in larger prey, while habitat and seasonal variations ...
