Towards integrated control of varroa: effect of variation in hygienic behaviour among honey bee colonies on mite population increase and deformed wing virus incidence [PDF]
, 2014 Hygienic behaviour in the honey bee, Apis mellifera, is the uncapping and removal of dead, diseased or infected brood from sealed cells by worker bees. We determined the effect of hygienic behaviour on varroa population growth and incidence of deformed ...

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.

Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty
Insect Science, EarlyView.Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.
