Body size-dependent effects on the distribution patterns of phoretic mite species assemblages on Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier, 1790). [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2023 We report a high species richness of up to seven phoretic mite taxa, including five unspecified taxa, actively using the red palm weevil as a host in the first study of these organisms in Portugal. We also found body size‐dependent effects on the coexistence or exclusion of phoretic mite taxa that ultimately determine their distribution patterns on the

Species composition of shoreline wolf spider communities vary with salinity, but their diets vary with wrack inflow. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2022 A small change in salinity (5‰ vs 7‰) cause total turnover of wolf spider species composition. Wolf spider diets do not vary between species. Wolf spider diets differ between sites with or without a thick wrack bed. Abstract Wolf spiders are typically the most common group of arthropod predators on both lake and marine shorelines because of the high ...

Community assembly and metaphylogeography of soil biodiversity: Insights from haplotype-level community DNA metabarcoding within an oceanic island. [PDF]
Mol Ecol, 2022 Abstract Most of our understanding of island diversity comes from the study of aboveground systems, while the patterns and processes of diversification and community assembly for belowground biotas remain poorly understood. Here, we take advantage of a relatively young and dynamic oceanic island to advance our understanding of ecoevolutionary processes

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.

Review of the mite subfamily Arctoseiinae Evans with a key to its genera and description of a new genus and species from Siberia (Parasitiformes, Mesostigmata, Ascidae) [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2012 We redefine the subfamily Arctoseiinae of the family Ascidae, and describe a new genus, Maxinia gen. n., based on a new species, Maxinia arctomontana sp.

First record of Antennoseius pannonicus Willmann (Mesostigmata: Ascidae) from Iran
Persian Journal of Acarology, 2019 In this research, one female specimen of A. (A.) pannonicus Willmann, 1951 was found from under elytra of an unknown species of Harpalus Latreille (Carabidae) collected in Naharkhoran Forest, Golestan Province, northern Iran. This is the first record of

A semiochemical view of the ecology of the seed beetle Acanthoscelides obtectus Say (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae, Bruchinae). [PDF]
Ann Appl BiolThe dried bean beetle, Acanthoscelides obtectus, is an economically important pest of stored legumes worldwide. We review the semiochemistry of the mate‐ and host‐finding behaviour of A. obtectus and provide new information about the effect of seed chemistry on the sensory and behavioural ecology of host acceptance and larval development.

A new species of the gamasid mite genus Arctoseius Thor, 1930 (Parasitiformes, Mesostigmata, Ascidae) from Russia with a key to the multidentatus species-group [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2013 A new gamasid mite species belonging to the genus Arctoseius Thor, 1930 is described from Russia. Arctoseius koltschaki sp. n. is distributed in the plain and mountain tundras from Khibiny Mountains to Chukotka on the north and to West Sayan Mountains on

Report of one genus and species of Ascidae (Acari) from Iran [PDF]
نامه انجمن حشرهشناسی ایران, 2008 During 1995-1997, a faunistic survey was carried out on spider mites and their predacious mites in Urmieh region, Iran. A total of 15 species belonging to 7 families and 13 genera were collected and identified, of which one genus and species is a new ...
