Inclusion of juvenile stages improves diversity assessment and adds to our understanding of mite ecology - A case study from mires in Norway. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2022
Including the juveniles explained a greater amount of the variability of Trombidiformes and Mesostigmata, but had less of an impact for Sarcoptiformes. Including juveniles increased the observed species richness by 6% in comparison to data based on adults only.

Intraspecific sensilla dimorphism in Ascoschoengastia indica (Prostigmata, Trombiculidae). [PDF]

Heliyon
Ascoschoengastia indica is one of the dominant chigger species in Southeast Asia and a potential carrier of scrub typhus, due in part to its cosmopolitan nature. This study explored the possible biological significance of the observed dimorphism in the shape of its scutum sensilla.

A REPLACEMENT NAME FOR THORIA ZACHARDA (ACARIFORMES: PROSTIGMATA: EUPODOIDEA) [PDF]

Acarina, 2021
A genus name of Trombidiformes Prostigmata turned out to be a junior homonym (preoccupied by an insect name) and a replacement name is proposed: Sigthoria nom. n. pro Thoria Zacharda, 1980 nec Stål, 1864. Two new combinations (comb. n.) are provided.

Occurrence of Aculusmosoniensis (Ripka, 2014) (Acari; Prostigmata; Eriophyoidea) on tree of heaven (Ailanthusaltissima Mill.) is expanding across Europe. First record in France confirmed by Barcoding

Phytoparasitica, 2021
In May 2020, populations of Eriophyid mites were detected on tree of heaven,Ailanthusaltissima Mill., in a recreative park in the city of Colombes, near Paris, and later in August and September in four locations, in Southern France.

Invertebrate communities (Collembola and Acari) in soil cover treatments for mine tailings in a long‐term field experiment

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 34, Issue 15, Page 4728-4740, September 2023., 2023
Abstract Assessment of mine rehabilitation strategies including soil cover treatments rely mainly on soil physico‐chemical properties or plant performance indices, while much less is known about the response of biological soil properties. This field study evaluated the response of soil mesofauna (Collembola and Acari) in soil cover treatments (mainly ...

Linking agricultural diversification practices, soil arthropod communities and soil health

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 60, Issue 9, Page 1952-1963, September 2023., 2023
Soil arthropods respond to agricultural diversification and can be used as bioindicators to assess the effects of diversification on soil health. Below‐ground arthropod communities are structured by crop type, suggesting that planting specific crops may promote soil arthropods and their services. We showed that incorporating winter pea and forage crops

Plant roots fuel tropical soil animal communities

Ecology Letters, Volume 26, Issue 5, Page 742-753, May 2023., 2023
Our study quantifies the importance of litter vs. living root resources for soil animals across 30 taxonomic groups after conversion of rainforest into monoculture plantations. The results suggest that roots are of similar importance to litter for the soil animal food web, with root trenching effects being stronger in soil than in litter and litter ...

Whole‐of‐community invertebrate rewilding: Leaf litter transplants rapidly increase beetle diversity during restoration

Ecological Applications, Volume 33, Issue 2, March 2023., 2023
Abstract Restoration of degraded areas is now a central tool in humanity's response to continued species‐loss. However, restoration projects often report exceedingly slow or failed recolonization of fauna, especially dispersal‐constrained groups such as invertebrates.
