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.

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 ...

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.

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

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 ...
