Ameroseiid mites (Acari: Ameroseiidae) in some parts of Iran with redescription of Ameroseius lidiae Bregetova

open access: yesJournal of Crop Protection, 2014
This paper reports some species of Ameroseiidae from various habitats in different parts of Iran. Ameroseius bassolase (Vargass, 2001)has been reported from Iran, but it was a misidentification of Sertitympanum aegyptiacus Nasr & Abow-Awad, 1984 ...

Diet‐Induced Developmental and Morphological Plasticity in a Thelytokous Predatory Mite Amblyseius herbicolus (Chant) (Acari: Phytoseiidae)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
This study investigated how variation in prey consumption influences immature development and adult morphometric traits in the predatory mite Amblyseius herbicolus. Mites that ate more prey attained a larger size at maturity but did not develop more rapidly. Several morphometric traits were also significantly influenced by diet.

Ants do not prey upon an extrafloral‐nectar‐feeding predatory mite

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 5, Page 876-885, October 2025.
The predatory mite Amblyseius herbicolus is an important natural enemy of various crop pests and occurs in agroforestry coffee systems, where it feeds on the extrafloral nectar of Inga trees. Because extrafloral nectaries are often vigorously defended by ants, we tested whether ants would attack and kill the mites near nectaries.

The use of plant, bacterial and fungal resources in soil food webs of ecto‐ and arbuscular mycorrhiza‐dominated deciduous forests

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 9, Page 2398-2412, September 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Soil food webs, driven by complex interactions among plants, microbes and invertebrates, are crucial for carbon and nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems. Over the last decade, it has become evident that forests dominated by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) or ...

Occupational Mite Allergy and Asthma: An EAACI Task Force Report

open access: yesAllergy, Volume 80, Issue 9, Page 2484-2500, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Mite sensitization is notable in several occupational settings. Elevated house dust mite concentrations are primarily detected in workplaces where people congregate and are active. Allergy to storage mites and spider mites has commonly been reported in agricultural and various food processing occupations.

Some mesostigmatic mites (Acari: Parasitiformes) of Khuzestan Province, southwestern Iran

open access: yesPersian Journal of Acarology, 2018
Animal droppings constitute an ephemeral habitat where specialized invertebrate communities including significant abundance of mites live together. In order to study the Mesostigmata mites associated with manure, samples were taken from different manure

Impacts of Climate, Organic Management, and Degradation Status on Soil Biodiversity in Agroecosystems Worldwide

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 9, September 2025.
Unsustainable farming, soil degradation, and climate change threaten the biodiversity of life within soils, which is essential for healthy ecosystems. However, the effects of sustainable farming strategies, such as organic agriculture, on soil biodiversity are still poorly understood. In this work, we assessed soil biodiversity status in agroecosystems

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

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 39, Issue 3, Page 422-430, September 2025.
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.
