Spatial Factors Shape Taxonomic and Functional Beta-Diversity in Water-Filled Tree Holes in Different Biogeographical Regions. [PDF]

Ecol Lett
Spatial processes predominantly shape taxonomic and functional β‐diversity of macroinvertebrate communities in water‐filled tree holes in different biogeographical regions, with species richness differences driving both taxonomic and functional patterns overall, while functional turnover was pronounced in the Palaeotropical region.

Hitchhiking into the future on a fly: Toward a better understanding of phoresy and avian louse evolution (Phthiraptera) by screening bird carcasses for phoretic lice on hippoboscid flies (Diptera)

Systematic Entomology, 2022
Many phoretic relationships between arthropods are understudied because of taxonomic impediments. We here illustrate for avian lice riding on hippoboscid flies how new natural history data on phoretic relationships can be acquired quickly with modern and

Macrocheles muscaedomesticae (Acari, Macrochelidae) and a species of Uroseius (Acari, Polyaspididae) phoretic on Musca domestica (Diptera, Muscidae): effects on dispersal and colonization of poultry manure

Iheringia: Série Zoologia, 2004
Differences in the phoresy of the mites Macrocheles muscaedomesticae (Scopoli, 1972) (Macrochelidae) and Uroseius sp. (Polyaspidae) on the house fly, Musca domestica (Linnaeus, 1758) and the similarities in their phoretic dispersal and parasitism are ...

Dispersal Capabilities Do Not Parallel Ecology and Cryptic Speciation in European Cheliferidae Pseudoscorpions (Pseudoscorpiones: Cheliferidae)

Diversity, 2023
The ability to disperse has continually shaped both the distribution and diversification of biota, and it affects the survival of the species with respect to wide-ranging habitat loss.

Microbiome predators in changing soils

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 25, Issue 11, Page 2057-2067, November 2023., 2023
By providing a state‐of‐the‐art overview of knowledge on soil microbiome predators, we highlight three research topics to focus on to better understand the general role of microbiome predators in natural and agricultural soils under current and future climate change. This overview will advance and guide future research in this emerging field.

Pest categorisation of Setoptus parviflorae

EFSA Journal, Volume 21, Issue 8, August 2023., 2023
Abstract The EFSA Plant Health Panel performed a pest categorisation of Setoptus parviflorae (Acari: Eriophyoidea: Phytoptidae) for the European Union (EU). This mite is not listed in Annex II of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2072. It is known to occur in the Nanjing Botanical Garden (China) on Pinus parviflora.
