New records of soil mites from Pakistan, with description of a new species (Acari: Laelapidae)
Persian Journal of AcarologyThis paper records six species and five genera of mites in the family Laelapidae from soil in Punjab, Pakistan. Five species are recorded from Pakistan for the first time – Euandrolaelaps karawaiewi (Berlese, 1904), Gaeolaelaps minor (Costa, 1968 ...

Structure and molecular evolution of the barcode fragment of cytochrome oxidase I (COI) in Macrocheles (Acari: Mesostigmata: Macrochelidae). [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2022 In the present study, we used all available data to explore the evolutionary relationships, divergence time, and amino acid variation of COI barcode fragment of Macrocheles. Our results revealed the less conserved structure of COI in Macrocheles species compared with arthropods.

Shotgun metagenomics of soil invertebrate communities reflects taxonomy, biomass, and reference genome properties. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2022 Shotgun metagenomics is increasingly applicable to study eukaryotic community composition. Theoretically, metagenomics should inform about species’ biomass, since it omits a taxonomically biased PCR step. Here, we evaluate how well metagenomics records composition and biomass in mock communities, and how its performance is affected by reference genome ...

A commercial seaweed extract structured microbial communities associated with tomato and pepper roots and significantly increased crop yield. [PDF]
Microb Biotechnol, 2019 Seaweeds have been used as a source of natural fertilizer for centuries but their effects on soil and crop roots microbiota remain unclear. Here, we find that plant productivity was positively influenced by the addition of seaweed extracts. In addition, seaweed extracts modified the bacterial and fungal communities of rhizospheric soils and roots of ...

Tritrophic interactions between a fungal pathogen, a spider predator, and the blacklegged tick. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2018 The biopesticide Met52, containing the fungus Metarhizium brunneum, and the brush‐legged wolf spider Schizocosa ocreata each reduced survival of blacklegged ticks Ixodes scapularis in field microcosms. Met52 reduced spider survival, although this did not result in a positive effect on ticks. Ticks were more likely to quest for hosts when the spider was

, 2021 Genus Gaeolaelaps Evans & Till Hypoaspis (Gaeolaelaps) Evans & Till, 1966: 159. Type species: Laelaps aculeifer Canestrini, 1884; by original designation (Evans & Till, 1966). Diagnosis. The concept of Gaeolaelaps used here is based on that of Beaulieu (2009) with modifications by Kazemi et al. (2014).
