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

open access: yesOikos, 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.

New mite species associated with certain plant species from Guam

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

Phytoseiid Mites (Acari: Mesostigmata) of the Azores Islands 

open access: yesSystematic and Applied Acarology, 2017
The fauna of phytoseiid mites (Phytoseiidae) is still scarcely known in the Azores archipelago. A survey was conducted in the islands of Pico, Faial and Flores where phytoseiid mites were collected from native, cultivated and invasive plants. Twenty-two species were collected, nine of which represent new records for the Azores.

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

open access: yesPhysiological 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.

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

open access: yesInsects, 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

What is the potential for artificial selection of insect biological control traits? A systematic review of their genetic variation, heritability, and evolvability

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 6, Page 463-497, June 2025.
Growing interest in optimizing biocontrol traits, particularly due to Nagoya Protocol constraints, necessitates understanding their heritability and genetic variation. This systematic review of 5209 studies on arthropod biocontrol agents yielded 94 relevant articles, with 42 providing heritability values.

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 ...
