Quill Mites Parasitising African Shrikes: New Host Records and Distributional Insights Into Host and Habitat Specificity

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Quill mites of the family Syringophilidae are permanent ectoparasites inhabiting the lumen of avian feather quills and exhibiting high host and microhabitat specificity. Despite the broad geographic distribution and ecological diversity of shrikes (Laniidae), their syringophilid fauna has received insufficient study.

Diversity of Chewing Lice (Insecta: Phthiraptera) in the Indo‐Burma Biodiversity Hotspot

Journal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The diversity of birds is well documented globally. However, the same attention has generally not been given to their parasites, which comprise many times their diversity. Here, we present data from a large‐scale survey of chewing lice found infesting birds in the Indo‐Burma biodiversity hotspot of western Yunnan, China.

Tri‐trophic interactions of soil mite Sancassania polyphyllae (Acari: Acaridae) with fungal biocontrol agents

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Mycophagous invertebrates can significantly impact the efficacy of fungal biocontrol agents; yet the interaction between these agents and Sancassania polyphyllae (Acari: Acaridae), commonly found in soil ecosystems, remains poorly understood. Our study demonstrates that Sa.

Large‐Scale Integrative Taxonomy of the Smallest Insects Reveals Astonishing Temperate Diversity (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea: Mymaridae)

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 24, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Fairyflies (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea: Mymaridae) are a diverse but taxonomically understudied group of parasitoid wasps that attack the eggs of other insects. Being among the very smallest of all insects, they are often ignored in biodiversity surveys despite being one of the most abundant microhymenoptera in many habitats.

A new species of the termitophilous rove beetle genus Pseudotermitoecia Kistner, 1985 from Australia (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae), and its association with Schedorhinotermes Silvestri, 1909 (Rhinotermitidae)

Austral Entomology, Volume 64, Issue 4, November 2025.
Abstract We describe Pseudotermitoecia kungarakan Zilberman & Moreno, sp. nov., a new species of the termitophilous rove beetle genus Pseudotermitoecia Kistner, 1985 (Termitusini: Termitospectrina) from Australia. This discovery expands the known diversity of the genus, previously represented solely by Pseudotermitoecia kakaduensis Kistner, 1985 ...
