Diversity of bartonellae in mites (Acari: Mesostigmata: Macronyssidae and Spinturnicidae) of boreal forest bats: Association of host specificity of mites and habitat selection of hosts with vector potential

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 38, Issue 4, Page 518-529, December 2024.
Bats play a major role in the circulation of zoonotic pathogens. Mites (Macronyssidae and Spinturnicidae) may facilitate the long‐term maintenance (and even local recurrence) of Bartonella‐infestations. Mites may transmit several distinct Bartonella strains, which cluster phylogenetically close to Bartonella species known for their zoonotic role ...

Sustainable Land Use Strengthens Microbial and Herbivore Controls in Soil Food Webs in Current and Future Climates

Global Change Biology, Volume 30, Issue 11, November 2024.
Our study examines how climate change and farming practices impact soil ecosystems, focusing on energy flux through the soil food web. We found that less intensive, sustainable farming methods help maintain soil ecosystem functioning, even under changing climate conditions.

Combinative effects of thinning and prescribed burning on fuel reduction and soil arthropods: A case study in a Mediterranean pine forest

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2024.
Soil arthropods of Pinus laricio forests are little affected by thinning and prescribed burning conducted in autumn. Low‐intensity burns preserve soil‐dwelling organisms, and unconsumed wood serves as a refuge area. The combination of thinning and burning appears to be beneficial in reducing the fire risk and protecting soil arthropods, notably ...

Notas sobre Mesostigmata Neotropicales V. Algunos datos sobre la distribución y huéspedes de los Spinturnicidae de Colombia (Acarina, Mesostigmata, Spinturnicidae)

Caldasia, 1969
La fauna de ectoparásitos de mamíferos de Colombia, particularmente la de Chiroptera, es poco conocida. En los últimos años, gracias a la labor desarrollada por algunos parasitólogos, ha sido posible adquirir nuevos y valiosos datos sobre algunas formas.

Do sexual differences in life strategies make male lizards more susceptible to parasite infection?

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 93, Issue 9, Page 1338-1350, September 2024.
Sexual dimorphism in coadaptive host–parasite relationships are poorly understand. The comparative nature of the presented studied as well as the generalisation of the results for the geographic region sampled makes this study of general interest of ecologists, evolutionary biologists, physiologist and parasitologist, among others.

Distribution pattern and driving factors of mite communities in karst cave ecosystems

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2024.
Mites are abundant invertebrates in underground ecosystems, influenced by resource and environmental diversity, but the diversity of cave mites remains unclear. Through a survey of soil mites in three typical areas of light intensity in caves and their adjacent environments outside the caves, we found that although there are significant differences in ...

Some mesostigmatid mites from Iran with their world distribution

Journal of Crop Protection, 2013
Edaphic Mesostigmata are important, because these feed on arthropods and other invertebrates which may affect on natural equilibrium position of oter living micro-organisms. In order to study the fauna of mesostigmatid mites, samples of soil, litter were
