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