Bacteriophages in the Rhizosphere: Roles in Nutrient Cycling, Bacterial Community Structure, and Animal‐Mediated Dispersal

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
This review discusses bacteriophages' roles in soil ecosystems, highlighting their impact on nutrient cycling, plant health, and soil remediation, as well as animal‐mediated phage dispersal mechanisms. Overall, while bacteriophages have potential biotechnological applications, their negative effects on microbial functions and nutrient cycling highlight

Contrasting effects of temperature across trophic levels in geothermally warmed soil food webs

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.
Global warming is altering the structure and dynamics of ecological communities, with significant consequences for soil food webs. Rising temperatures are expected to accelerate metabolic rates in organisms, potentially altering species interactions, and the structure and energetics of food webs.

Feeding biology and diversity of oribatid mites (Oribatida, Acari) [PDF]

, 2005
The aim of this study was to understand the regulatory mechanism of the high diversity of soil living oribatid mites (Acari, Oribatida) which appear to coexist without extensive niche differentiation.

Altitudinal variations in the structure and composition of oribatid mite community in the Arjan Plain Biosphere Reserve, Fars Province, Iran [PDF]

Journal of Insect Biodiversity and Systematics
Data was collected from 45 monthly samples at three vegetation layers spanning from 1950 to 2500 meters above sea level in the Arjan Plain Biosphere Reserve, Fars Province, Iran. A total of 12,648 individuals were collected, leading to the identification

Potential New Records of Mites in Australia Based on Citizen Science (Acariformes, Parasitiformes)

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 2, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper reports on 10 species, 10 genera and 1 family of mites that are recorded in the iNaturalist database but otherwise not recorded from Australia. They include five species of plant parasites in the family Eriophyidae that may be economically important pests.

Specialist or generalist? Feeding ecology of the Malagasy poison frog Mantella aurantiaca [PDF]

, 2007
We studied the diet of a population of free-ranging Mantella aurantiaca, an alkaloid-containing poison frog from Madagascar. As in other poison frogs, this species is thought to sequester alkaloids from arthropod prey.

Potential for the American toad (Anaxyrus americanus) to contribute to biological control in a vegetable agroecosystem

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract The American toad (Anaxyrus americanus) is a native insectivorous amphibian common in agricultural fields in eastern North America. Past research on this and related species suggests potential for positive or negative effects on pest populations, depending on the prevalence of intraguild predation.

Soil Microarthropod Communities Along Salt Marsh Transects of the Wadden Sea Are Predominantly Structured by Niche Differentiation

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–
