Investigating soil mesofauna cryptic diversity: Current challenges and perspectives
Abstract Cryptic species lacking distinct morphological features are widespread among soil fauna, including such functionally significant groups as springtails, mites and enchytraeids. Their presence, diversity and biomass may impact ecosystem services provided by belowground ecosystems.

Ground‐Dwelling Spider Community Responses to Forest Management in a Mediterranean Oak Forest
The effect of two alternative forest management practices on spider community were tested in a Quercus pubescens forest. Negative effects were observed as soon as 25% thinning, while wood residue retention had little effects on spiders. Pardosa saltans, the dominant species of our data set, appears to be a suitable candidate for a sentinel species ...

Do oribatid mites of tropical montane rainforests respond to nitrogen and phosphorus additions?
Abstract Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) depositions worldwide are increasing the risks of biodiversity and functionality loss in terrestrial ecosystems, particularly in tropical regions. However, the effects of increased nutrient inputs on soil biodiversity in tropical regions remain largely unknown.

A Catalogue of Oribatida Types of the “Balogh Collection” in the Hungarian Natural History Museum (Arachnida, Acariformes) [PDF]
Academician János Balogh was one of the most outstanding acarologists of his time. During his collecting expeditions around the world, he amassed an internationally significant collection of mites and described more than 1,000 species of oribatid mites.

A list of oribatid mites (Acari, Oribatida) of Vietnam [PDF]
A species list of identified oribatid mite taxa (Acari, Oribatida) in the fauna of Vietnam is provided. During 1967-2015, a total of 535 species/subspecies from 222 genera and 81 families was registered. Of these, 194 species/subspecies were described as new for science from Vietnam.

ABSTRACT Soil is a key compartment providing important ecosystem services for sustainable agriculture. Our study examined the effects of three inter‐row vegetation types on soil biological activity, mesofauna, and organic matter decomposition in 15 Mediterranean vineyards of South‐eastern France. The three vegetation types included inter‐rows sown with
