THE EFFECT OF CATTLE LIQUID MANURE FERTILIZATION ON THE SOIL MITES (ACARI) OF PERMANENT MEADOW IN POLAND [PDF]

Journal of Central European Agriculture, 2009
The effect of different doses of cattle liquid manure, with or without the VIT-TRA agent, on the mites of permanent meadow, with species analysis of oribatid mites (Acari, Oribatida) was investigated.

EFFECTS OF SHEEP TREADING ON PLANT COVERING AND SOIL ORIBATIDA (ACARI) IN A WOODED HAY MEADOW IN SOGN (NORWAY) [PDF]

Journal of Central European Agriculture, 2008
Effects of sheep treading on plant covering and soil oribatid mites in a traditionally maintained wooded hay meadow in Sogn (Norway) were investigated. Samples were taken under the elm trees in 2 zones, situated 1m from the elm trunks, heavily treaded by

Different patterns, but no temporal decline in temperate forest soil meso- and macrofauna over the last decade. [PDF]

Ecology
Abstract Global biodiversity loss is threatening ecosystem functioning and human well‐being. Arthropods above the ground have substantially decreased in abundance and diversity during the last 15–20 years. However, changes in belowground biodiversity, particularly in forests, received little attention.

Diversity Patterns and Ecological Network Features of Soil Mite Trophic Groups in Karst Cave Ecosystems. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Along karst cave gradients, soil mites show rising α‐diversity yet declining functional diversity toward cave entrances. Predatory mites sustain ecological network stability as keystone taxa despite simplified communities in oligotrophic zones. This reveals biodiversity maintenance mechanisms in extreme subterranean ecosystems.

Revision of the family Carabodidae (Acari, Oribatida) VII. Redefinition of the genus Malgasodes; redescription of M. curvisetus Mahunka, 2000; and complementary description of M. hungarorum Mahunka, 2010. Phylogenetic relationships between Malgasodes, Bovicarabodes, Afticarabodes, Congocepheus and Cavaecarabodes are discussed [PDF]

, 2014
The genus Malgasodes is redefined; the type species M. curvisetus Mahunka, 2000, is redescribed by meansof studies using optic and Scanning Electron Microsopy (SEM), and a complementary description of M.hungarorum Mahunka, 2000 is included. Comparison of

Fungal Energy Channelling Sustains Soil Animal Communities Across Forest Types and Regions. [PDF]

Ecol Lett
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 ...

Drivers of Centipede and Spider Diversity and Biomass Along an Elevation Gradient on Changbai Mountain, China. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
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 ...

Water, rather than temperature, dominantly impacts how soil fauna affect dissolved carbon and nitrogen release from fresh litter during early litter decomposition [PDF]

, 2016
Longstanding observations suggest that dissolved materials are lost from fresh litter through leaching, but the role of soil fauna in controlling this process has been poorly documented.

Moss-Accumulated eDNA Is a Promising Source for Terrestrial Biodiversity Surveys Across the Tree of Life and Biomes. [PDF]

Mol Ecol Resour
ABSTRACT Developments in the environmental DNA (eDNA) field have revolutionised our ability to map biodiversity by providing cost‐effective and non‐invasive means to survey organisms across the tree of life. In the terrestrial realm, a variety of eDNA sources have been employed, but we lack easily accessible and cosmopolitan sources of terrestrial eDNA.

Redescription of Hemileius suramericanus (Acari, Oribatida, Scheloribatidae) with comments about Neotropical congeneric species [PDF]

, 2014
This paper represents the first redescription of Hemileius suramericanus (Hammer, 1958) (Oribatida, Scheloribatidae). Morphological and chaetotactic details are added to original Hammer's description.
