Structure and molecular evolution of the barcode fragment of cytochrome oxidase I (COI) in Macrocheles (Acari: Mesostigmata: Macrochelidae). [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2022
In the present study, we used all available data to explore the evolutionary relationships, divergence time, and amino acid variation of COI barcode fragment of Macrocheles. Our results revealed the less conserved structure of COI in Macrocheles species compared with arthropods.

Older Lineages of Oribatid Mites in Mountain Ranges Have Broader Geographic Ranges and Exhibit More Generalistic Traits. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We investigated the radiation and trait diversity of soil oribatid mites from two mountain ranges (the Alps and Changbai Mountain). We found that phylogenetically older oribatid mites of mountain ranges have broader trophic variation, larger geographical range sizes, and more often reproduce via parthenogenesis.

Differential Impact of Simultaneous or Sequential Coinfections With <i>Borrelia afzelii</i> and Tick-Borne Encephalitis Virus on the <i>Ixodes ricinus</i> Microbiota. [PDF]

Int J Microbiol
Ticks, particularly Ixodes ricinus, are significant vectors of pathogens such as Borrelia spp. and tick‐borne encephalitis virus (TBEV), which cause Lyme borreliosis (LB) and tick‐borne encephalitis (TBE), respectively. Understanding how these pathogens interact within the tick microbiome is essential for developing vector control strategies.
