Potential of the Predatory Mites Gamasellodes lavafesii (Mesostigmata: Ascidae) and Cosmolaelaps mediocuspis (Mesostigmata: Laelapidae) on Different Soil Pests/Parasites and Alternative Prey for Large‐Scale Rearing

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 5, Page 562-572, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Many species of Mesostigmata soil mites have potential as biological control agents of pests/parasites. This study evaluated the predation potential of two of these species, Gamasellodes lavafesii (Ascidae) and Cosmolaelaps mediocuspis (Laelapidae).

Effect of coupled reduced irrigation and nitrogen fertilizer on soil mite community composition in a wheat field

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 9, Issue 19, Page 11367-11378, October 2019., 2019
Moderate reductions of IR and N fertilizer may not decrease crop production or threaten to soil organism community and diversity. On the contrary, it will benefit to decrease agricultural inputs and maintain the sustainable development of agriculture.

Geographic Variation in the Diet of Red Knot (Calidris canutus) Chicks Reflects Local Prey Communities

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim To describe and compare the diets of an Arctic‐breeding shorebird, the Red Knot (Calidris canutus), across three geographically distinct breeding sites. We aimed to document the dietary patterns and identify key prey groups that characterise each population's foraging ecology.

Scientific Opinion addressing the state of the science on risk assessment of plant protection products for in‐soil organisms

EFSA Journal, Volume 15, Issue 2, February 2017., 2017
Abstract Following a request from EFSA, the Panel on Plant Protection Products and their Residues developed an opinion on the science behind the risk assessment of plant protection products for in‐soil organisms. The current risk assessment scheme is reviewed, taking into account new regulatory frameworks and scientific developments. Proposals are made

Factors associated with diversity, quantity and zoonotic potential of ectoparasites on urban mice and voles [PDF]

, 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.

Diversity of House Dust Mite Species in Xishuangbanna Dai, a Tropical Rainforest Region in Southwest China

BioMed Research International, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
Purpose. To survey the species diversity of home dust mites (HDM) in Xishuangbanna, a tropical rainforest region in Southwest China. Methods. From August 2010 to January 2011, mite‐allergic patients and healthy controls were invited to participate. Dust samples from the patients’ homes were collected, and mites in the samples were isolated.

Influence of organic acids on locomotor activity of Stratiolaelaps scimitus (Mesostigmata, Laelapidae)

Biosystems Diversity, 2023
Increasing the activity of zoophage Acari in agrocenoses, for example luring them to concentrations of harmful insects, could be effectively performed using attractants, for example organic acids that people use in households and industry.
