Developmental Plasticity and the Evolutionary Rescue of a Colonizing Mite
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
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

Rhacochelifer disjunctus (Pseudoscorpiones: Cheliferidae) new to the fauna of Slovakia
An illustrated description of Rhacochelifer disjunctus (L. Koch, 1873) collected in Slovakia is presented. One female was found phoretic on Lepidoptera in a Malaise trap. Another 37 specimens, including both sexes, tritonymphs and a protonymph, collected

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 ...
