The association of Mediterranean plant species with herbivorous arthropods and its effect on pest abundance in organic vineyards

open access: yesAnnals of Applied Biology, Volume 188, Issue 1, Page 369-385, January 2026.
We determined the associations of native Mediterranean plant species located around organic vineyards with species of Auchenorrhyncha and phytophagous tetranychid and tenuipalpid mites, including important vineyard pests: Jacobiasca lybica and Tetranychus urticae.

Micro Gondwana: soil and litter mesofauna in the subalpine and alpine of North‐West Nelson, southern New Zealand

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 52, Issue 5, Page 944-966, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Alpine ecosystems are vulnerable to the warming climate, yet alpine soil mesofauna remains the less studied part of NZ biodiversity. Here we present a survey of soil mesofauna communities of three mountain peaks in the Nelson‐Tasman and Marlborough regions of the South Island of New Zealand.

Occurrence of the Oribatid Mite Trhypochthoniellus longisetus longisetus (Acari: Trhypochthoniidae) on Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Mites as parasites infesting fish have been described in a few case reports involving Histiostoma anguillarum, H. papillata, and Schwiebea estradai. We describe the unexpected occurrence of oribatid mites of the genus Trhypochthoniellus on farmed tilapia

Oribatid assemblies of tropical high mountains on some points of the “Gondwana-Bridge” – a case study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
This work is the first part of a series of studies, which introduces the methodological possibilities of coenological and zoogeographical indication and – following the climate, vegetation and elevation zones – the pattern-describing analysis of the main

Activity and Diversity of Collembola (Insecta) and Mites (Acari) in Litter of a Degraded Midwestern Oak Woodland [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Litter-inhabiting Collembola and mites were sampled using pitfall traps over a twelve-month period from four sub-communities within a 100-acre (40-ha) oak-woodland complex in northern Cook County, Illinois.

Types of haemocytes in saprophagous soil mites (Acari: Oribatida, Acaridida), and the correlation between their presence and certain processes within mites

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2006
The microanatomy of several oribatid and one acaridid mite was studied to determine the role of free cells (haemocytes) in mites. Mites from the field as well as laboratory cultures were observed and analyzed histologically using Masson triple stain. The

An integrative approach combining molecular analyses and experiments to investigate predation of insect eggs by a mite

open access: yesEcosphere, 2020
Uncovering the predation habits of small arthropods such as mites can be a major challenge, as direct observations are not always feasible in natura. Therefore, PCR‐based analyses of gut content, or body content when gut dissection is not applicable, are

Ants do not prey upon an extrafloral‐nectar‐feeding predatory mite

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 5, Page 876-885, October 2025.
The predatory mite Amblyseius herbicolus is an important natural enemy of various crop pests and occurs in agroforestry coffee systems, where it feeds on the extrafloral nectar of Inga trees. Because extrafloral nectaries are often vigorously defended by ants, we tested whether ants would attack and kill the mites near nectaries.
