Determinants of Soil Microarthropod Community Biodiversity in the Svalbard High Arctic: Locality or Vegetation Community? [PDF]
Ecol EvolArctic ecosystems like Svalbard are rapidly changing, yet soil microarthropods remain difficult to monitor due to limited baseline data and demanding field and identification work. Using 172 soil samples from 33 localities, we tested whether vegetation maps could serve as proxies for soil microarthropod communities.

Soil Microarthropod Communities Along Salt Marsh Transects of the Wadden Sea Are Predominantly Structured by Niche Differentiation [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe combined α‐ and β‐diversity to investigate the community assembly of soil microarthropods (Collembola, Oribatida, Mesostigmata) along a salt marsh transect from the upper salt marsh to the lower salt marsh to the pioneer zone on three islands in the Wadden Sea of Germany. The results suggest that soil microarthropod communities in the dynamic marine–

A Forest Pool as a Habitat Island for Mites in a Limestone Forest in Southern Norway
Diversity, 2021 Forest water bodies, e.g., pools, constitute ‘environmental islands’ within forests, with specific flora and fauna thus contributing considerably to the landscape biodiversity.
