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

Associative invasions of rabbits in farms of the Poltava region
Rabbit breeding is a very productive branch of animal husbandry that produces meat, hides, and down. Rabbit meat is a very valuable dietary product that is quickly absorbed by the human body and contains iron, many B vitamins, magnesium salts, phosphorus

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 ...

Mites of the genus Neharpyrhynchus Fain (Acariformes, Harpirhynchidae) from Neotropical birds
Three new species of parasitic mites of the genus Neharpyrhynchus Fain (Acariformes, Harpirhynchidae) are described from Neotropical birds, N. chlorospingus sp. n. from Chlorospingus pileatus (Passeriformes, Emberizidae) from Costa Rica, N.

Two new species of Armascirus (Acariformes: Cunaxidae) from China [PDF]
Two new species, Armascirus apophysis Chen and Jin n. sp. and Armascirus yulongensis Chen and Jin n. sp. are described and illustrated. Armascirus apophysis Chen and Jin n. sp. differs from all other Armascirus by presence of one apophysis on palp basifemur; A. yulongensis Chen and Jin n. sp.

Proteonematalycus wagneri Kethley reveals where the opisthosoma begins in acariform mites
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.

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)
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 ...
