Patterns and drivers of soil surface-dwelling Oribatida diversity along an altitudinal gradient on the Changbai Mountain, China. [PDF]
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

Mites of the genus Anomaloppia Subías (Acari: Oppiidae) from Alborz province, northern Iran, with one new species and a key to the known species [PDF]
In the course of a faunistic survey on oribatidmites in Alborz province, northern Iran, four species belonging to the genus Anomaloppia were collected: A. iranica, A. mazandaranica, A. differens and a hitherto unknown species which is named as A. alborzi

Older Lineages of Oribatid Mites in Mountain Ranges Have Broader Geographic Ranges and Exhibit More Generalistic Traits. [PDF]
We 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]
We 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]
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]
Using 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.
