Ecology 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)
Ecology 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 ...

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 39, Issue 1, Page 14-21, March 2025.A servosphere was used to record the speed, directionality and phototaxis of individual post‐feeding larvae of two species of blow fly (Diptera: Calliphoridae) on a smooth plastic surface over time. The servosphere rotates to compensate for the movement of an insect placed at its apex, thereby facilitating its unimpeded locomotion in any direction and ...

Ecological Applications, Volume 35, Issue 1, January 2025.Abstract Subsidy–stress gradients offer a useful framework for understanding ecological responses to perturbation and may help inform ecological metrics in highly modified systems. Historic, region‐wide shifts from bottomland hardwood forest to row crop agriculture can cause positively skewed impact gradients in alluvial plain ecoregions, resulting in ...

Cheyletid mites (Acari:Trombidiformes) in stored grains in Iran
Persian Journal of Acarology, 2017 In Iran, cheyletid mites (Acariformes: Cheyletidae) were collected over 15 years (1996–2010) in stored cereal. Samples were collected from silos, flour-mills, barn and rice-mills in 12 provinces scattered throughout the North, Centre, East and West of ...

Wolbachia in Antarctic terrestrial invertebrates: Absent or undiscovered?
Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 16, Issue 6, December 2024.Endosymbiotic bacteria Wolbachia are recognized for their role in influencing host survival and stress resistance, particularly in cold environmental conditions across various species. However, our analysis of available data reveals a notable absence of Wolbachia in species abundant in the extreme cold conditions of Antarctica.

Arthropod diversity in Iran: Class Arachnida Lamarck, 1801 (excl. Acariformes Zakhvatkin, 1952 and Parasitiformes Reuter, 1909) [PDF]
Journal of Insect Biodiversity and SystematicsThe class Arachnida comprises approximately 100,000 described species in 16 extant orders worldwide, with members recorded from all continents and terrestrial habitats. A few groups can even be found in marine and freshwater environments.

Genomic evidence for the widespread presence of GH45 cellulases among soil invertebrates
Molecular Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 20, October 2024.Abstract Lignocellulose is a major component of vascular plant biomass. Its decomposition is crucial for the terrestrial carbon cycle. Microorganisms are considered primary decomposers, but evidence increases that some invertebrates may also decompose lignocellulose. We investigated the taxonomic distribution and evolutionary origins of GH45 hydrolases,

Unlocking rivers' hidden diversity and ecological status using DNA metabarcoding in Northwest Spain
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2024.This study explores the application of DNA metabarcoding analysis in both bulk and environmental DNA (eDNA) samples for comprehensive assessment of macrozoobenthic biodiversity, detection of invasive and endangered species, and evaluation of river ecological status in northwestern Spain.
