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.

Background Oribatida and Collembola are an important part of the soil food web and increase soil fertility by contributing to the recycling of nutrients out of dead organic matter.

Fungal Energy Channelling Sustains Soil Animal Communities Across Forest Types and Regions. [PDF]
We developed a novel framework combining stable isotope analysis of essential amino acids and energy fluxes to quantify basal resource contributions and trophic positions of meso‐ and macrofauna detritivores (Collembola, Oribatida, Diplopoda, Isopoda, Lumbricidae) and predators (Mesostigmata, Chilopoda) in 48 forest sites of different management ...

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

Drivers of Centipede and Spider Diversity and Biomass Along an Elevation Gradient on Changbai Mountain, China. [PDF]
Changes in density, diversity, and biomass with elevation differ between centipedes and spiders. Compared to centipedes, spiders are more strongly affected by environmental changes. Climatic variables act as the main drivers of centipede and spider density, diversity, and biomass, with local habitat–related factors being of secondary importance ...

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 new species of the genus Scheloribates (Oribatida, Scheloribatidae) — S. (Scheloribates) arsizonensis n. sp. — is described from Ethiopia, based on adult and juvenile instars, collected from litter and green moss in Arsi Mountains National Park. Adults

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.
