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.

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.

Invertebrates in the gradient of different age soils under a birdcliff at the Grønfjord Area (Svalbard, Arctic) [PDF]
The aim of this study was a preliminary analysis of the distribution of microarthropods (Oribatida, Collembola) and herpetobiontic invertebrates (Aranei, Coleoptera) in soils of different ages under a seabird colony in the vicinity of the Barentsburg ...

A Forest Pool as a Habitat Island for Mites in a Limestone Forest in Southern Norway
Forest water bodies, e.g., pools, constitute ‘environmental islands’ within forests, with specific flora and fauna thus contributing considerably to the landscape biodiversity.

Repeated convergent evolution of parthenogenesis in Acariformes (Acari)
The existence of old species‐rich parthenogenetic taxa is a conundrum in evolutionary biology. Such taxa point to ancient parthenogenetic radiations resulting in morphologically distinct species.

The effect of mowing on moss mites (Acari, Oribatida) of Xerothermic reserve Gruczno
The xerothermic plant communities mowing with different frequency and the brushwood of blackthorn overgrowing the not mowing surface of reserve were investigated.
