Heathland restoration using topsoil removal provides an ideal scenario to study colonization processes of soil fauna. We quantitatively assessed passive dispersal of oribatid mites via phoresy using small rodents and compared it to other reported host groups.

The Wheat Curl Mite (Aceria tosichella, Prostigmata: Eriophyidae) Could Establish in South Africa
Biological invasions by agricultural pests can have serious negative impacts, including decreases in crop yield and economic losses. The MT-1 and MT-8 genotypes of the wheat curl mite (Aceria tosichella) (hereafter ‘WCM’ refers to these two genotypes ...

Abstract Aim We studied the distribution of freshwater macroinvertebrate taxa and traits to distinguish ecological gradients among the mining‐controlled and natural headwaters, and rural and urban economic activity influences. Location In 2016’s dry season, macroinvertebrate samples were collected at 40 locations in the Mashcon watershed, northern ...

A NEW SPECIES AND NEW RECORDS OF STIGMAEIDAE (ACARI: PROSTIGMATA) FROM WESTERN SIBERIA
During a study of predatory mites in Western Siberia, a new species, Stigmaeus amphibius sp. n. (Acari: Stigmaeidae), was collected from wet soil near a lake. Eryngiopus hamedanicus Khanjani, Mohammadi and Nazari, 2014, Eustigmaeus bisetalis (Doğan, 2004)

An open‐field mesocosm was developed to study the role of soil‐dwelling microarthropods in nitrogen cycling. The mesocosms included spring wheat or mixed grass, and a lysimeter collected percolated soil water underneath the systems. We found differences in the leached ammonium and nitrate ion concentrations among mesocosms including higher or lower ...

The labidostommatid palpus: a morphological enigma (Acariformes: Prostigmata)
Hypotheses are reviewed concerning which segments of the primitively five-segmented palpus are coalesced to form the simple, linear, four-segmented form characteristic of labidostommatid mites. Among alternatives, those of either a femurogenu or a tibiotarsus are not based on convincing evidence.

The Family Tenuipalpidae in Bermuda (Prostigmata: Acari)
Four new host plant records and five new distribution records are reported for tenuipalpid mites collected in a survey of the phytophagous mites of Bermuda. A taxonomic key to the five tenuipalpid species and a host plant list are provided.
