Effects of microarthropod density on soil fungal community composition in nutrient‐poor ecosystems

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 2, Page 432-445, February 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Microarthropods such as mites (Acari) and springtails (Collembola) play a key role in the functioning of nutrient‐poor ecosystems. They contribute to the comminution of organic matter and they are likely to affect the structure and function of soil microbial communities

Experimental manipulation of nest temperature and relative humidity reduces ectoparasites and affects body condition of Blue Tits (Cyanistes caeruleus)

Ibis, Volume 167, Issue 1, Page 212-224, January 2025.
Many models predict changes in the distribution and incidence of diseases associated with climate change. However, studies exploring the effect of microclimatic changes on host–parasite relationships are scarce. In this study, we increased temperature or humidity in Eurasian Blue Tit Cyanistes caeruleus nestboxes during the breeding season, to analyse ...

Ionic self-phoresis maps onto correlation-induced self-phoresis

Europhysics Letters
Abstract The recently identified mechanism of correlation-induced (self-)chemophoresis highlights that the motion of a catalytically active particle in response to chemical gradients generated by the activity involves a significant activity-dependent response that lies beyond linear-response theory.

First records of pseudoscorpions (Arachnida) associated with two species of the genus Chalcolepidius Eschscholtz, 1829 (Coleoptera, Elateridae) in Mexico [PDF]

Check List
We report new biological associations between pseudoscorpions (Arachnida) and click beetles of the genus Chalcolepidius Eschscholtz, 1829 (Coleoptera, Elateridae) in the states of Hidalgo and Tabasco, Mexico. These associations confirm that a correlation

Surface-active millipedes (Diplopoda) and associated mites (Acari, Mesostigmata) in Pigeon Valley Nature Reserve in Durban, South Africa

Soil Organisms, 2014
Surface-active millipedes and associated mites were surveyed during two rainfall seasons in Pigeon Valley Nature Reserve (PVNR) in Durban, South Africa. Four millipede species, Doratogonus cristulatus (Porat, 1872) and Orthoporoides pyrhocephalus(C.

Description of the first-instar larvae of two Turanian–European species of Meloe updating the systematics of the genus (Coleoptera: Meloidae: Meloini)

The European Zoological Journal
The first-instar larvae of two species of Meloidae from the steppe zone of Russia, Meloe aeneus and M. reitteri, are described. The affinities and morphological differences between these larvae and those of the subgenera Eurymeloe, Micromeloe and ...

Parasitic and phoretic mites (Arachnida, Acari) reported from insects (Arthropoda: Insecta) in Egypt [PDF]

Journal of Insect Biodiversity and Systematics, 2018
Mites exploit various symbiotic associations with insects and other arthropods, mainly parasitism and phoresy. Faunistic information of parasitic and phoretic mites on insects in Egypt is reviewed.

A Revision of Dispersal Strategies in Freshwater Sponges: The Journey of the Ponto-Caspian Sponge Rosulaspongilla rhadinaea (Porifera: Spongillidae), a New Alien Species for Europe

Limnological Review
Alien species constitute one of the main threats to freshwater ecosystems, negatively impacting biodiversity, economy, and ecosystem services. Here, we use morphological and genetic data to show the presence of a new alien freshwater sponge in Europe ...
