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.

New data on Cicaditrombium lorestanensis Noei, 2017 (Acari: Trombidiidae), Achaemenothrombium saboorii Noei, 2021 (Acari: Achaemenothrombiidae) and the family Neothrombiidae

Persian Journal of Acarology, 2021
The members of the genus Cicaditrombium Saboori & Lazarboni originally described from Iran, are known as parasites of Hemiptera (Cicadidae) and Lepidoptera (Noctuidae).

Inclusion of juvenile stages improves diversity assessment and adds to our understanding of mite ecology – A case study from mires in Norway

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022
Including the juveniles explained a greater amount of the variability of Trombidiformes and Mesostigmata, but had less of an impact for Sarcoptiformes. Including juveniles increased the observed species richness by 6% in comparison to data based on adults only.

“Jack‐of‐all‐trades” is parthenogenetic

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 6, June 2022., 2022
Our results suggest that parthenogenetic oribatid mite species are more generalistic than sexual species supporting the general purpose genotype hypothesis. Our findings indicate that parthenogenetic oribatid mite species possess a widely adapted general‐purpose genotype and therefore might be viewed as “Jack‐of‐all‐trades”.

Phytoseiid mites (Acari: Mesostigmata: Phytoseiidae) from Mato Grosso State, Central-Western Brazil

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2021
The aim of the present study was to conduct a survey of mites of the family Phytoseiidae associated with plants of the natural vegetation and cultivated forests in sites of three biomes (Amazon Forest, Cerrado and Pantanal) in the Mato Grosso State ...

Drivers of Collembola assemblages along an altitudinal gradient in northeast China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 2, February 2022., 2022
The results suggest that local habitat‐related factors including precipitation and temperature are the main drivers of changes in Collembola communities with altitude. Specifically, soil and litter carbon‐to‐nitrogen ratio correlated positively with Collembola communities at high altitudes, whereas soil pH correlated positively at low altitudes.

The biology and evolution of spider venoms

Biological Reviews, Volume 97, Issue 1, Page 163-178, February 2022., 2022
ABSTRACT Spiders are diverse, predatory arthropods that have inhabited Earth for around 400 million years. They are well known for their complex venom systems that are used to overpower their prey. Spider venoms contain many proteins and peptides with highly specific and potent activities suitable for biomedical or agrochemical applications, but the ...
