Two new species of oribatid mites of Lasiobelba (Acari, Oribatida, Oppiidae) from Nepal, including a key to all species of the genus [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2014 Two new species of oribatid mites of the genus Lasiobelba (Oribatida, Oppiidae), Lasiobelba (Lasiobelba) daamsae sp. n. and Lasiobelba (Antennoppia) nepalica sp. n., are described from eastern Nepal. Lasiobelba (L.) daamsae sp. n.

Patterns and drivers of soil surface-dwelling Oribatida diversity along an altitudinal gradient on the Changbai Mountain, China. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2023 The beta diversity of soil surface‐dwelling Oribatida was decreased with the altitude rising, and the structure of the community was more influenced by species turnover component than nestedness component. Abstract Distribution patterns of biodiversity and environmental interactions are dominant themes in ecology. In montane ecosystems, biodiversity is

New Opiid species (Acari, Oribatida, Oppiidae) from Romanian caves
Travaux de l'Institut de Speologie Emile Racovitza, 2011 Three new species of the family Oppiidae Grandjean, 1951 are described in this paper, as result of study of the faunistic material collected from some Romanian caves: Lasiobelba (Lasiobelba) pontica n. sp., Lauroppia incognita n. sp.

Older Lineages of Oribatid Mites in Mountain Ranges Have Broader Geographic Ranges and Exhibit More Generalistic Traits. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe investigated the radiation and trait diversity of soil oribatid mites from two mountain ranges (the Alps and Changbai Mountain). We found that phylogenetically older oribatid mites of mountain ranges have broader trophic variation, larger geographical range sizes, and more often reproduce via parthenogenesis.

Fungal Energy Channelling Sustains Soil Animal Communities Across Forest Types and Regions. [PDF]
Ecol LettWe developed a novel framework combining stable isotope analysis of essential amino acids and energy fluxes to quantify basal resource contributions and trophic positions of meso‐ and macrofauna detritivores (Collembola, Oribatida, Diplopoda, Isopoda, Lumbricidae) and predators (Mesostigmata, Chilopoda) in 48 forest sites of different management ...

A comparative analysis of spider prey spectra analyzed through the next-generation sequencing of individual and mixed DNA samples. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2021 Individual DNA sample sequencing obtains the accurate prey spectrum of spiders. Mixed DNA sample sequencing underestimates the prey spectrum of spiders. Individual and mixed DNA sample sequencing obtains almost the same relative abundance of prey sequences of spiders.

Niche dimensions in soil oribatid mite community assembly under native and introduced tree species. [PDF]
Ecol EvolUsing functional traits, our study showed that oribatid mite communities were structured by both filtering and partitioning processes. Coexisting species differed more in resource‐related (α‐niche) traits than in morphological (β‐niche) traits, and were driven more by tree species identity (beech vs. conifer) than by forest type (monoculture vs.

Parthenogenetic vs. sexual reproduction in oribatid mite communities. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2019 We compiled data on oribatid mite communities from different habitats across biomes. Based on the compiled dataset, we analyzed if the percentage of parthenogenetic species and the percentage of individuals of parthenogenetic species are related to total oribatid mite density, species number, and potentially other driving factors of the reproductive ...
