Season affects soil oribatid mite communities more than tree diversity in subtropical forests

open access: yesGeoderma
Biodiversity is declining on a global scale with detrimental effects on ecosystem functioning. Effects of reduced tree diversity on the diversity of aboveground animals have been studied in detail, whereas the response of soil animals remains poorly ...

Seasonal fluctuation of oribatid mite communities in forest microhabitats [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2018
Oribatid mites are abundant and diverse decomposers in almost all terrestrial microhabitats, especially in temperate forests. Although their functional importance in the decomposition system in these forests has been investigated, spatio-temporal ...

Transformation of rainforest into monoculture plantations alters the density, species richness and community composition of oribatid mites and selects for a higher dominance of parthenogenetic species

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation
The transformation of rainforests into oil palm and rubber plantations poses a major threat to tropical biodiversity. This has been well documented for a number of above- and belowground taxa; however, to what extent this applies to oribatid mites is ...

Loss, persistence and reversal of phenotypic traits

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2119-2133, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The irreversibility of complex trait loss has long been a tenet of evolutionary biology. However, this idea is increasingly at odds with the numerous documented exceptions across the Tree of Life. We synthesise this growing body of evidence across a diverse array of taxa and traits, exploring the evolutionary conditions that enable ...
