Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.We combined α‐ and β‐diversity to investigate the community assembly of soil microarthropods (Collembola, Oribatida, Mesostigmata) along a salt marsh transect from the upper salt marsh to the lower salt marsh to the pioneer zone on three islands in the Wadden Sea of Germany. The results suggest that soil microarthropod communities in the dynamic marine–

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.

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

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.We developed the MPG Ranch Arthropod Library (MPG‐AL), a COI DNA barcode reference library for arthropods of the Northern Rocky Mountains, to address gaps in barcode coverage for the western United States. From 86,533 specimens collected in Montana, we generated 52,270 DNA barcodes spanning 38 orders and 1793 species, adding 5154 Barcode Index Numbers (

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.Primary producers shape terrestrial biodiversity, but most research has focused on vascular plants, while the role of cryptogams (mosses, lichens and algae) remains under‐explored. Cryptogams dominate Antarctic vegetation and support diverse microarthropod communities. However, how cryptogam traits influence these communities remains poorly understood.
