Austral Ecology, Volume 50, Issue 12, December 2025.ABSTRACT Parasitoid insects can significantly influence the dynamics of terrestrial ecosystems due to their interactions with phytophagous insects. Tortoise beetles (Cassidinae s. str., Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae) are one of the most parasitized groups of Coleoptera.

Ecology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 12, December 2025.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.

Incidental pollination by passing animals: An overlooked mechanism?
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 5, Page 1245-1250, September 2025.The conservation of pollinators is essential for sustaining the ecosystem services of pollen transfer, which support crop production, biodiversity conservation and ecosystem health. While primary pollinators have been the focus of most conservation efforts, subordinate or incidental pollinators have been largely overlooked.

Cases of unintentional phoresy of beetles (Insecta: Coleoptera) on birds
Трансформация экосистем, 2019 Cases of unintentional phoresy of adult beetles on birds are discussed in this article. Five species of beetles from families Anobiidae, Curculionidae, Chrysomelidae and Dermestidae were recorded on five species of birds (families Columbidae ...

Ecological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 2, Page 351-359, April 2025.Experimental exposure to carrion flies dramatically reduced reproductive success of Nicrophorus orbicollis, and phoretic mites reduced fly numbers, but flies did not affect mite numbers. Despite an absence of flies by the end of trials in treatments with mites, mites had no measured effect on Nicrophorus reproductive success.

Phoretic association of mites and mallophaga with the pigeon fly Pseudolynchia canariensis
Parasite, 2005 Myialges anchora Trouessart, 1906 and M. lophortyx (Furman & Tarshis, 1953) gravid females, surrounded by clusters of eggs, were found strongly inserted into the cuticle of head, thorax, abdomen, femurs and wings of Pseudolynchia canariensis (Macquart ...

Developmental Plasticity and the Evolutionary Rescue of a Colonizing Mite
Evolution &Development, Volume 27, Issue 1, March 2025.The study investigates the role of plasticity in small populations during evolutionary rescue, using the bulb mite Rhizoglyphus robini. It explores whether phenotype dynamics of colonizing populations comprising only dispersers (deutonymphs) are due to a selective process (plasticity exposing genetic variation) or a generative process (developmental ...
