Plant–arthropod associations in custard apples, genus Annona: A global perspective
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.Annona species, commonly known as custard apples, engage with a wide range of arthropods, including both herbivores and pollinators, which shape their ecology. These plants produce secondary metabolites that may serve as natural defenses against pests.

New and rare zerconid mites (Acari: Mesostigmata: Zerconidae) from the Crimean Peninsula, Ukraine [PDF]
Opuscula Zoologica Instituti Zoosystematici et Oecologici Universitatis Budapestinensis, 2009 Elaborating a recent „Berlese” material collected from different habitats of the Crimean Peninsula (Ukraine) resulted in recording four zerconid mite species of which two, Zercon bercziki and Zercon csuzdii spp. nov. are new to science.

Ants do not prey upon an extrafloral‐nectar‐feeding predatory mite
Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.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.

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.RNAseq and differential expression analysis identified 15 salivary gland genes encoding secreted proteins with putative anti‐bacterial, anti‐fungal, cytolytic, digestive and immunosuppressive function. The three most highly transcribed genes were selected to study their functional importance by reverse genetics, using a non‐invasive approach of dsRNA ...

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.

Mites (Oribatida and Mesostigmata) and Vegetation as Complementary Bioindicators in Peatlands
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2022 Vegetation is widely used in the assessment of the quality of peatlands, while the invertebrate fauna of peatlands is relatively poorly studied. We compared the bioindicator values of vegetation with two arthropod groups widespread in peatlands, saprophagous Oribatida (Acariformes) and predatory Mesostigmata (Parasitiformes) mites.
