The food web in a subterranean ecosystem is driven by intraguild predation [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 Trophic interactions of cave arthropods have been understudied. We used molecular methods (NGS) to decipher the food web in the subterranean ecosystem of the Ardovská Cave (Western Carpathians, Slovakia).

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 ...

Meteorological factors affect the epidemiology of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome via altering the breeding and hantavirus-carrying states of rodents and mites: a 9 years’ longitudinal study [PDF]
Emerging Microbes and Infections, 2017 The incidence of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) in Qingdao, China was three times higher than that of the average national level. Here we characterized the epidemiology, ecological determinants and pathogen evolution of HFRS in Qingdao ...

Factors associated with diversity, quantity and zoonotic potential of ectoparasites on urban mice and voles. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Wild rodents are important hosts for tick larvae but co-infestations with other mites and insects are largely neglected. Small rodents were trapped at four study sites in Berlin, Germany, to quantify their ectoparasite diversity.

Abundance and Diversity of Soil Mites (Acari: Gamasida & Oribatida) in Mango Orchards in Ismailia Region, Egypt [PDF]
Acarines: Journal of the Egyptian Society of Acarology, 2021 The relative abundance of gamasid and oribatid mites inhabiting soil and litter in mango orchards was investigated in Ismailia region, Egypt. Soil and litter samples were collected from August 2008 to July 2009.

Diversity Patterns and Ecological Network Features of Soil Mite Trophic Groups in Karst Cave Ecosystems. [PDF]
Ecol EvolAlong karst cave gradients, soil mites show rising α‐diversity yet declining functional diversity toward cave entrances. Predatory mites sustain ecological network stability as keystone taxa despite simplified communities in oligotrophic zones. This reveals biodiversity maintenance mechanisms in extreme subterranean ecosystems.
