Applicability and perspectives for DNA barcoding of soil invertebrates [PDF]

PeerJ
Belowground invertebrate communities are dominated by species-rich and very small microarthropods that require long handling times and high taxonomic expertise for species determination.

Biogeography of oribatid mites (Acari) reflects their ancient origin and points to Southeast Asia as centre of radiation

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 51, Issue 11, Page 2211-2220, November 2024.
Abstract Aim Understanding the worldwide distribution of species has fascinated scientists at least since Alfred Russel Wallace. Global patterns of belowground biodiversity may fundamentally differ from those of aboveground organisms. Here, we examine the global pattern and potential mechanisms driving the endemism and overlap of a soil microarthropod ...

The Detri2match conceptual framework: Matching detritivore and detritus traits to unravel consumption rules in a context of decomposition

Functional Ecology, Volume 38, Issue 10, Page 2084-2098, October 2024.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract From soil to freshwater ecosystems, decomposition can be conceived as the result of interactions between organic matter and a diversity of organisms. This function is driven in part by detritivores, invertebrates that feed on detritus or graze on its associated microbes

ORIBATID MITES IN NESTS OF THE LAPLAND BUNTING (CALCARIUS LAPPONICUS) ON THE ARCTIC ISLAND OF VAYGACH (WITH ANALYSIS OF THE ISLAND'S FAUNA)

Transactions of the Karelian Research Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 2019
In the seven nests of the Lapland Bunting (Calcarius lapponicus) collected from the Arctic island of Vaygach, 1348 oribatid mite specimens representing 25 species, 24 genera of 21 families were found.

Genomic evidence for the widespread presence of GH45 cellulases among soil invertebrates

Molecular Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 20, October 2024.
Abstract Lignocellulose is a major component of vascular plant biomass. Its decomposition is crucial for the terrestrial carbon cycle. Microorganisms are considered primary decomposers, but evidence increases that some invertebrates may also decompose lignocellulose. We investigated the taxonomic distribution and evolutionary origins of GH45 hydrolases,

Temporal variation of soil microarthropods in different forest types and regions of central Europe

Oikos, Volume 2024, Issue 10, October 2024.
Biodiversity and biomass of aboveground arthropods in central European forests continuously declined during the last decade. However, whether belowground microarthropod communities follow similar patterns has not been investigated. In this study, we compared the abundance, diversity, community composition, stability and asynchrony of oribatid mites ...

The influence of forest types including native and non‐native tree species on soil macrofauna depends on site conditions

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2024.
Abstract The ongoing climate change calls for managing forest ecosystems in temperate regions toward more drought‐resistant and climate‐resilient stands. Yet ecological consequences of management options such as planting non‐native tree species and mixing coniferous and deciduous tree species have been little studied, especially on soil animal ...

Twenty six new records of oribatid mites (Acari: Oribatida) for Iran fauna [PDF]

نامه انجمن حشره‌شناسی ایران, 2009
During 2000-2004, in a faunistic survey of primitive oribatids (Acari: Oribatida: Macropylina), pycnonotic and poronotic oribatid mites in Mazandaran province, 26 species, 15 genera and 13 families that marked by asterisk are newly recorded from Iran ...
