Cooler and drier conditions increase parasitism in a subtropical damselfly population [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionHost–parasite interactions are impacted by climate, which may result in variation of parasitism across landscapes and time. Understanding how parasitism varies across these spatio‐temporal scales is crucial to predicting how organisms will respond to and

Molecular Correlation between Larval, Deutonymph and Adult Stages of the Water Mite Arrenurus (Micruracarus) Novus [PDF]
Life, 2020 The systematics of many groups of organisms has been based on the adult stage. Morphological transformations that occur during development from the embryonic to the adult stage make it difficult (or impossible) to identify a juvenile (larval) stage in ...

Molecular diet studies of water mites reveal prey biodiversity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2021 Water mites are diverse aquatic invertebrates that provide potentially important ecosystem and economic services as bioindicators and mosquito biocontrol; however, little is known about water mite digestive physiology, including their diet in nature ...

Sexual and developmental variations of ecto-parasitism in damselflies. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2022 The prevalence and intensity of parasitism can have different fitness costs between sexes, and across species and developmental stages. This variation could arise because of species specific sexual and developmental differences in body condition ...

Testing the enemy release hypothesis in a native insect species with an expanding range [PDF]
PeerJ, 2015 The enemy release hypothesis (ERH) predicts that the spread of (invasive) species will be facilitated by release from their enemies as they occupy new areas.

Differential water mite parasitism, phenoloxidase activity, and resistance to mites are unrelated across pairs of related damselfly species. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Related host species often demonstrate differences in prevalence and/or intensity of infection by particular parasite species, as well as different levels of resistance to those parasites.

Water mites (Hydrachnidia) of the Drawa River (NW Poland)
Persian Journal of Acarology, 2022 The water mite communities of the River Drawa were investigated in the year 1988. The samples were taken in April, July and September. A total of 1349 specimens belonging to 52 species of water mites were collected. We decided to distingush Lebertia cf.
