Patterns and drivers of soil surface‐dwelling Oribatida diversity along an altitudinal gradient on the Changbai Mountain, China [PDF]
Distribution patterns of biodiversity and environmental interactions are dominant themes in ecology. In montane ecosystems, biodiversity is closely associated with altitudinal gradients.

High consistency of trophic niches in generalist arthropod species (Oribatida, Acari) across soil depth and forest type. [PDF]
Many traits including trophic niche parameters are attributed to species. However, generalist species may vary in trophic niches with environments, making species‐based knowledge hard to extrapolate beyond local food webs.

Microhabitat Selectivity of Mites (Acari) in a Natural Lowland Beech Forest (Melico-Fagetum) in Wronie Reserve (Poland) [PDF]
The European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) is a tree species common throughout Europe, with the eastern boundary of its range extending across Poland. Samples were collected in several microhabitats of beech stands (e.g., leaf litter, rotting wood, moss ...

Trophic niche but not abundance of Collembola and Oribatida changes with drought and farming system. [PDF]
Higher frequencies of summer droughts are predicted to change soil conditions in the future affecting soil fauna communities and their biotic interactions. In agroecosystems drought effects on soil biota may be modulated by different management practices

Soil microarthropods respond differently to simulated drought in organic and conventional farming systems [PDF]
In Central Europe, summer droughts are increasing in frequency which threatens production and biodiversity in agroecosystems. The potential of different farming systems to mitigate detrimental drought effects on soil animals is largely unknown.

Structure of the cuticle of some ptyctimine oribatids (Acari: Oribatida) [PDF]
. The cuticle of Rhysotritia duplicita (Euphtiracaroidea: Euphtiracaridae), Phthiracarus sp., Steganacarus magnus, S. striculus and Tropacarus carinatus (all Phthiracaroidea: Phthiracaridae) was studied by light and transmission electron microscopy.
