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.

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 MicrobiolTicks, 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.

“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”.

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 ...

DNA Barcoding and Phylogeny of Acari Species Based on ITS and COI Markers
Journal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022 Acari harbor numerous minute species of agricultural economic importance, mainly Tetranychidae and Phytoseiidae. Great efforts have been established by means of recovering morphological, molecular, and phylogenetic traits for species identification. Traditional identification still relies on external diagnostic characters, which are limited and usually

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 13, Page 8730-8742, July 2021., 2021 We analyzed the dietary composition of a tepui summit endemic toad, Oreophrynella quelchii from Roraima‐tepui, and compared its diet with that of O. nigrafrom Kukenán‐tepui, to examine whether diet differs between these two sister species across isolated, although neighboring, tepui tops.

Money spider dietary choice in pre‐ and post‐harvest cereal crops using metabarcoding
Ecological Entomology, Volume 46, Issue 2, Page 249-261, April 2021., 2021 Distinct invertebrate communities were identified pre‐ and post‐harvest, and changes in spider diet and prey preferences reflected this. Spider prey choice may redress prey community changes to maintain a consistent dietary intake. Consistent provision of alternative prey via permanent refugia could sustain effective conservation biocontrol.
