Dead Wood as an Element Enriching Biodiversity of Forest Ecosystems: A Case Study Based on Mites from the Suborder Uropodina (Acari: Parasitiformes)

Diversity, 2021
The importance of dead wood in forest ecosystems for the existence of invertebrates has been widely discussed in the literature. The major aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that the presence of dead wood in forests considerably increases the ...

Ectoparasitism of the Flightless Drosophila melanogaster and D. hydei by the Mite Blattisocius mali (Acari: Blattisociidae)

Insects, 2023
Predatory mites dispersing by means of insects are often ectoparasites and may use various tactics to get onto the host, counteract its defenses, and diminish its survival. Blattisocius mali is a promising biological control agent which has been reported

PyStokes: phoresis and Stokesian hydrodynamics in Python [PDF]

Journal of Open Source Software, 2020
We present a modular Python library for computing many-body hydrodynamic and phoretic interactions between spherical active particles in suspension, when these are given by solutions of the Stokes and Laplace equations. Underpinning the library is a grid-free methodology that combines dimensionality reduction, spectral expansion, and Ritz-Galerkin ...
