A catalogue of heterostigmatic mites (Acari: Trombidiformes) of Iran

open access: yesPersian Journal of Acarology, 2023
In this study, we conducted a comprehensive review of all heterostigmatic mites that have previously been recorded from Iran. Thus far, 319 species, 70 genera, 12 families and 6 superfamilies of Heterostigmata (Acari: Prostigmata) (of 2265 known world ...

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

open access: yesDiversity, 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 ...

First Interaction Network of Sarcosaprophagous Fauna (Acari and Insecta) Associated with Animal Remains in a Mediterranean Region (Northern Spain)

open access: yesInsects, 2022
The potential of insects for forensic investigations has been known for more than 700 years. However, arthropods such as mites could also play a role in these investigations.

Differential Phoretic Vector Use Among Sympatric Caenorhabditis Nematodes and an Association With Invasive Nitidulid Beetles in Southwestern Germany

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
We show evidence for differential host use among the three sympatric Caenorhabditis, and a novel association with nitidulid beetles for C. apta sp. n. This information adds to our understanding of host invertebrate use across the Caenorhabditis phylogeny, highlighting potential evolutionary transitions in host use in need of further study.

Microfluidic Pump Driven by Anisotropic Phoresis [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review Applied, 2019
Fluid flow along microchannels can be induced by keeping opposite walls at different temperatures, and placing elongated tilted pillars inside the channel. The driving force for this fluid motion arises from the anisotropic thermophoretic effect of the elongated pillars that generates a force parallel to the walls, and perpendicular to the temperature ...

Hiding in Plain Sight: Evidence of Echeneidae Cloacal and Gill Diving Behavior in Manta Ray Hosts

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Here we document seven observations of Echeneidae cloacal diving behavior in manta rays and one observation of gill attachment behavior. These observations span all three currently described species of manta rays (Mobula yarae, Mobula birostris, and Mobula alfredi), demonstrate the ability of large Echeneidae to perform cloacal diving behavior in both ...

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

open access: yesInsects, 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

Association between neotropical burrowing spiders (araneae: nemesiidae) and mites (acari: heterostigmata, scutacaridae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Whilst collecting burrowing spiders of the family Nemesiidae from 16 localities in Argentina, phoretic mites were found on Stenoterommata iguazu, Stenoterommata platense and Stenoterommata uruguai.

Paleoethology : fossilized behaviours in amber [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
When organisms became trapped in sticky resin they usually expired so quickly that they could fossilize in almost lifelike circumstances. Based on frequent description in literature of many examples we propose in this paper a classification of these ...
