From subsidies to stressors: Positively skewed ecological gradients alter biological responses to nutrients in streams

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 ...

Arthropod diversity in Iran: Class Arachnida Lamarck, 1801 (excl. Acariformes Zakhvatkin, 1952 and Parasitiformes Reuter, 1909) [PDF]

Journal of Insect Biodiversity and Systematics
The 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.

The first records of Promyialges italicus and Myialges anchora (Acariformes: Epidermoptidae) in Slovakia with new hosts

Historia naturalis Bulgarica
Epidermoptidae (Acariformes: Astigmata) are permanent ectoparasites of birds; representatives of some genera have evolved phoretic associations with louse flies (Hippoboscidae).

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.

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 ...

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,

Troglodontobdella, a New Replacement Name for the Preoccupied Troglobdella Liu and Nakano, 2025 (Hirudinea: Erpobdelliformes: Salifidae)

Species Diversity
Troglodontobdella nom. nov. is herein proposed as a replacement name for the salifid leech genus Troglobdella Liu and Nakano in Liu, Li, Wu, Lin, Li, Nakano, and Liu, 2025, because the latter genus-group name is preoccupied by the acariform genus ...

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.
