Phoretic relationships between Uropodina (Acari: Mesostigmata) and centipedes (Chilopoda) as an example of evolutionary adaptation of mites to temporary microhabitats

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2006
A survey of soil fauna in Poland revealed 30 cases of centipedes carrying mites of the sub-order Uropodina. The 155 phoretic deutonymphs collected belonged to two species of Uropodina - Oodinychus ovalis (C.L.

Developmental Plasticity and the Evolutionary Rescue of a Colonizing Mite

open access: yesEvolution &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

open access: yesFunctional 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)

open access: yesIbis, 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 ...
