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

Species diversity of soil mites (Acari: Mesostigmata) under different agricultural land use types
Persian Journal of Acarology, 2020 Mites are among the most important members of soil arthropod communities, because they are the most diverse in terms of ecological niche and behavior. Due to the sensitivity of soil mites to soil disturbance, their diversity and numbers can be used as ...

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.

Repeated convergent evolution of parthenogenesis in Acariformes (Acari)
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 1, Page 321-337, January 2021., 2021 We investigated the radiation of Acariformes and reconstructed their ancestral mode of reproduction using 18S rDNA. We found that (a) Acariformes as well as Oribatida evolved from a sexual ancestor, (b) species‐rich parthenogenetic taxa radiated independently at least four times in Acariformes, (c) parthenogenesis additionally evolved frequently in ...
