Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 3, March 2025.The Neopsylla hongyangensis is an important medical insect that transmits plague. We sequenced the mitogenome of N. hongyangensis and constructed a phylogenetic tree for the order Siphonaptera. In addition, we explored the mitogenomic evolution of the orders Siphonaptera and Phthiraptera, which both belong to the class Insects, on warm‐blooded animals ...

Warming shifts the biomass distribution of soil microarthropod communities [PDF]
, 2023 Climate warming is often more detrimental to large body sized organisms than small body sized organisms. Yet, how such differential effects of warming at organismal levels affect aggregate community properties, such as community biomass, remains little ...

BMC Zoology, 2018 Background Oribatid mites are among the primordial decomposer faunal elements and potential prey organisms in soil. Among their myriad morphological defenses are strong sclerotization and mineralization, cuticular tecta, and the “ptychoid” body-form ...

A Gamasid Mite Annoying to Man
The Journal of Parasitology, 1920 On two occasions during the summer of 1919 the writer has encountered a small gamasid mite that gets on the skin of the legs, and for that matter on any part of the body, and causes a considerable annoyance and a "creepy" sensation by running about over the skin.

Attack and defense in a gamasid-oribatid mite predator-prey experiment – sclerotization outperforms chemical repellency [PDF]
Acarologia, 2016 Oribatid mites represent a diverse group of soil micro-arthropods. They have evolved a broad range of defensive chemical and morphological traits (e.g. sclerotization, ptychoidy, biomineralization). Chemical defense, rather than sclerotization, can provide protection against large predators (staphylinid beetles) and many oribatid mite species are also ...

An unusual finding of a parasitic gamasid mite Macronyssus heteromorphus Dusbábek, Radovsky, 1972 (Mesostigmata: Gamasina: Macronyssidae) in the Trans-Urals [PDF]
, 2019 We present the first record of Macronyssus heteromorphus Dusbábek et Radovsky, 1972 (Mesostigmata: Gamasina: Macronyssidae) in the Trans-Urals. Our record is located 1,500 km northwest from the nearest site of this species’ previous record. The collected
