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 ...

Repeated convergent evolution of parthenogenesis in Acariformes (Acari). [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2021 We investigated the radiation of Acariformes and reconstructed their ancestral mode of reproduction using 18S rDNA. We found that (a) Acariformes as well as Oribatida evolved from a sexual ancestor, (b) species‐rich parthenogenetic taxa radiated independently at least four times in Acariformes, (c) parthenogenesis additionally evolved frequently in ...

Environmental drivers of local abundance–mass scaling in soil animal communities
Oikos, Volume 2023, Issue 2, February 2023., 2023 The relationship between species' body masses and densities is strongly conserved around a three‐quarter power law when pooling data across communities. However, studies of local within‐community relationships have revealed major deviations from this general pattern, which has profound implications for their stability and functioning.

Biological Reviews, Volume 97, Issue 3, Page 1057-1117, June 2022., 2022 ABSTRACT Soil organisms drive major ecosystem functions by mineralising carbon and releasing nutrients during decomposition processes, which supports plant growth, aboveground biodiversity and, ultimately, human nutrition. Soil ecologists often operate with functional groups to infer the effects of individual taxa on ecosystem functions and services ...

Oribatid mites in agricultural and natural soils: a case study of vertical distribution
Entomological Communications, 2022 The vertical distribution of oribatid mites was evaluated in a natural soil (pine-oak forest) in the municipality of San Juan Nuevo and an agricultural soil (avocado crop) in the municipality of Uruapan in Michoacán, Mexico. Samples were taken in seven
