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
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.

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
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
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

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

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.
