Inclusion of juvenile stages improves diversity assessment and adds to our understanding of mite ecology - A case study from mires in Norway. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2022 Including the juveniles explained a greater amount of the variability of Trombidiformes and Mesostigmata, but had less of an impact for Sarcoptiformes. Including juveniles increased the observed species richness by 6% in comparison to data based on adults only.

An Early-Life Disruption of Gut Microbiota Has Opposing Effects on Parasite Resistance in Two Host Species. [PDF]
Mol EcolABSTRACT Gut microbiota regulate multiple aspects of host health, including metabolism and the development of the immune system. However, we still know relatively little about how the gut microbiota influences host responses to parasitism in wild organisms, particularly whether host‐microbiota interactions contribute to variation in parasitism across ...

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 16, Issue 3, Page 416-426, May 2023., 2023 How should we conserve species shifting their ranges under climate change? Might they affect historically resident species? Dynamic species occupancy models rapidly detect how range‐shifters integrate into resident biota. Range‐shifting small red‐eyed damselfly co‐exists with UK resident dragonflies, tending to thrive in the same habitats, but some ...

Parasite‐mediated sexual selection in a damselfly
Ethology, Volume 128, Issue 8, Page 572-579, August 2022., 2022 Parasite‐mediated selection should favour mating success of parasite resistant individuals over parasitised individuals. We tested this hypothesis in male Agriocnemis pygmaea damselflies, which are parasitised by Arrenurus water mites. We calculated frequency (i.e. the proportion of parasitism), and intensity (i.e.

Development of a flow‐sensitive macroinvertebrate index for Australian rivers
River Research and Applications, Volume 38, Issue 5, Page 846-862, June 2022., 2022 Abstract Hydrologically sensitive macroinvertebrate indices have been developed in Europe, the Americas and New Zealand to serve many purposes such as monitoring ecological responses to drought, flow regulation, water extraction and the provision of environmental flows.

Heritable variation in host quality as measured through an ectoparasite's performance
Oikos, Volume 2022, Issue 3, March 2022., 2022 Obligate parasites need one or more hosts to complete their life cycle. However, hosts might show intraspecific variation in quality with respect to the parasites themselves, thus affecting on‐host and off‐host parasite performance. High heritability in host quality for the parasite may therefore exert long‐lasting selective pressures on the parasite ...

Immunoecology of Species with Alternative Reproductive Tactics and Strategies
Journal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022 Alternative reproductive tactics and strategies (ARTS) refer to polymorphic reproductive behaviours in which in addition to the usual two sexes, there are one or more alternative morphs, usually male, that have evolved the ability to circumvent direct intra‐sexual competition. Each morph has its own morphological, ecological, developmental, behavioural,

Journal of Threatened Taxa, 2015 The parasitic association between water mites (Arrenurus spp.) and Odonata is virtually ubiquitous wherever habitats suitable for both taxa exist. Yet, very little is known about this association within and among the odonate species of India.

Primer registro de ácaros acuáticos (Arrenurus sp.) como ectoparásitos de odonatos en la Hispaniola
Novitates Caribaea, 2016 Se registra por primera vez para la República Dominicana y la Hispaniola ácaros acuáticos del género Arrenurus Dugès, 1834 parasitando odonatos. El reporte se basa en un solo individuo de la damisela Telebasis dominicana (Selys, 1857) parasitado por ...
