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.

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.

Phoresis and Enhanced Diffusion Compete in Enzyme Chemotaxis [PDF]
Nano Letters, 2018 Chemotaxis of enzymes in response to gradients in the concentration of their substrate has been widely reported in recent experiments, but a basic understanding of the process is still lacking. Here, we develop a microscopic theory for chemotaxis, valid for enzymes and other small molecules.

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 ...

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
