Soil Mite (Acari: Mesostigmata) Communities and Their Relationships with Some Environmental Variables in Experimental Grasslands from Bucegi Mountains in Romania

Insects, 2022
The main objective of the study was to analyse, for the first time in Romania, the relationships between five experimental grasslands and Mesostigmata fauna, considering: (1) the structural differences between mite communities; (2) the variations in some

Morphological and molecular data on the bat flies, Basilia silvae (Brèthes, 1913) and Trichobius parasiticus Gervais, 1844 parasitizing Chilean bats

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
We determined morphological and molecularly two species of bat flies: T. parasiticus (Streblidae), and B. silvae (Nycteribiidae). We generated the first sequences for both species in the country for the cytochrome oxidase subunit I. We do recover monophyletic groups for both species, and we discussed the tree topology.

Mesostigmatic mites (Acari: Mesostigmata) associated with rodents in Khorasan Razavi Province, Iran [PDF]

نامه انجمن حشره‌شناسی ایران, 2015
During April 2013 to December 2014, a faunistic study was carried out on mesostigmatic mites associated with rodents in northeastern Iran. In this research two dermanyssoid species were collected: Laelaps algericus Hirst and Hirstionyssus meridianus ...

The effects of sleep deprivation on susceptibility to parasitic infection in Drosophila nigrospiracula

Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.
Sleep is important for cellular/humoral and behavioural immunity. In Drosophila mite systems, sleep deprivation reduced behavioural resistance against ectoparasitic infection. Sleep‐deprived flies exhibited lower endurance (negative geotaxis assay) and endurance is a reliable indicator of behavioural resistance against ectoparasites.

Why oaks should stay with their close relatives: growing in a distantly related neighbourhood delays and reorganizes nutrient recycling during litter decomposition

Oikos, Volume 2025, Issue 4, April 2025.
Closely related species often conserve similar niches despite interacting negatively. We suggest that close relatives may interact positively via ecosystem feedbacks: leaf litter produced or exposed in a closely related neighbourhood (low phylogenetic isolation) may decompose more quickly, leading to more rapid nutrient recycling.

Foraging Niche Partitioning of Three Myotis Bat Species and Marine Fish Consumption by Myotis pilosus in a Subtropical East Asian Region

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 2, March/April 2025.
In the context of an important Atlantic salmon restoration program conducted in a large river system, we took advantage of the yearly count of smolt to evaluate the suitability of eDNA as a semi‐quantitative tool to monitor smolt migration. Results show a positive and exponential relationship between eDNA concentration and the number of caught smolts ...

New mite species associated with certain plant species from Guam

Journal of Entomological and Acarological Research, 2011
Several new mite species have been reported from certain plants from Guam. Most remarkably, the spider mite, Tetranychus marianae (Prostigmata: Tetranychidae) and the predatory mite Phytoseius horridus (Mesostigmata: Phytoseiidae) (Solanum melongena ...

Soil Multitrophic Interactions in a Changing World

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 4, Issue 1, March 2025.
Multitrophic interactions in soil food web. (a) Interactions between organisms from intra‐ and inter‐trophic levels across ecosystem boundaries link ecosystem compartments, provide nutrient and energy flow across trophic boundaries, maintain stability to ecosystem functions and supply ecosystem services.

Deformed wing virus genotypes A and B do not elicit immunologically different responses in naïve honey bee hosts

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 34, Issue 1, Page 33-51, February 2025.
We measured immune gene expression in DWV‐infected pupae in the absence of Varroa and found no evidence that DWV genotypes elicit a different immune response in honey bees. The antiviral siRNA response does not inhibit DWV from accumulating to high loads, with DWV siRNA response comparatively weaker than another honey bee virus, black queen cell virus (
