New Oppiidae (Acari, Oribatida) from Chile
Acarologia, 2016 Two new species of oribatid mites of the family Oppiidae (Oribatida, Oppioidea), belonging to the genera Lanceoppia and Rhinoppia, are described from Sphagnum magellanicum from a swamp in the vicinity of Punta Arenas in Chile. Lanceoppia (Bicristoppia) archicostulata n. sp. is morphologically similar to L. (Bicristoppia) bicristata Hammer, 1962(b), but

Habitat Modification by Grazing Lawns Reduces Soil Mite Diversity in a South African National Park
African Journal of Ecology, Volume 64, Issue 2, March 2026.ABSTRACT Soil mesofauna are an integral part of the functioning of an ecosystem. They are relatively small in body size, occur in varying habitats and operate in a range of ecological niches. Soil mites are quite sensitive to changes in their environment and contribute to several important ecosystem services in their environments.

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 52, Issue 5, Page 944-966, December 2025.ABSTRACT Alpine ecosystems are vulnerable to the warming climate, yet alpine soil mesofauna remains the less studied part of NZ biodiversity. Here we present a survey of soil mesofauna communities of three mountain peaks in the Nelson‐Tasman and Marlborough regions of the South Island of New Zealand.

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 89, Issue 5, September/October 2025.Abstract The characteristics used to distinguish between Mor and Moder differ among the various classifications of humus forms. Mor is often associated with ericaceous heathland that develops at high altitude or latitude, or in lowlands when soils are nutrient‐poor, sandy, and acidic.

Temporal variation of soil microarthropods in different forest types and regions of central Europe
Oikos, Volume 2024, Issue 10, October 2024.Biodiversity and biomass of aboveground arthropods in central European forests continuously declined during the last decade. However, whether belowground microarthropod communities follow similar patterns has not been investigated. In this study, we compared the abundance, diversity, community composition, stability and asynchrony of oribatid mites ...
