The humus profile of an alpine ericaceous heath (Savoie, France): A high‐resolution micromorphological analysis

open access: yesSoil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 89, Issue 5, September/October 2025.
Abstract The characteristics used to distinguish between Mor and Moder differ among the various classifications of humus forms. Mor is often associated with ericaceous heathland that develops at high altitude or latitude, or in lowlands when soils are nutrient‐poor, sandy, and acidic.

Evaluation of counterattack efficiency against predators in Schizotetranychus brevisetosus using small glass beads and phytoseiid eggs

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 8, Page 844-853, August 2025.
The web‐nesting spider mite Schizotetranychus brevisetosus Ehara attacks predators outside the nest, but the effectiveness of this behaviour is unknown. Spreading predator‐mimicking glass beads over the web induced intense patrolling behaviour in females, which even captured and attacked beads.

open access: yes, 2015
During a study on insect-associated heterostigmatic mites (Acari: Prostigmata) in southern Isfahan Province, Central Iran, two colonies of mites were found on Scarabaeus pius (Illiger, 1803) (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae): Pavania lanceolata sp. n. Bahramian

Positive Effects of Inter‐Row Vegetation on Soil Fauna and Organic Matter Decomposition in Mediterranean Vineyards

open access: yesSoil Use and Management, Volume 41, Issue 3, July‐September 2025.
ABSTRACT Soil is a key compartment providing important ecosystem services for sustainable agriculture. Our study examined the effects of three inter‐row vegetation types on soil biological activity, mesofauna, and organic matter decomposition in 15 Mediterranean vineyards of South‐eastern France. The three vegetation types included inter‐rows sown with

The wood economics spectrum modulates the positive effects of termite foraging intensity on deadwood invertebrate diversity

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 6, Page 1498-1509, June 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract How populations of ecosystem engineers are both driven by and drive biodiversity is poorly known, even less so in detrital subsystems. Deadwood plays a key role in maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem functions.

Detection, Prevalence and Phylogenetic Relationships of Demodex spp and further Skin Prostigmata Mites (Acari, Arachnida) in Wild and Domestic Mammals. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
This study was conceived to detect skin mites in social mammals through real-time qPCR, and to estimate taxonomic Demodex and further Prostigmata mite relationships in different host species by comparing sequences from two genes: mitochondrial 16S rRNA ...

Why oaks should stay with their close relatives: growing in a distantly related neighbourhood delays and reorganizes nutrient recycling during litter decomposition

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2025, Issue 4, April 2025.
Closely related species often conserve similar niches despite interacting negatively. We suggest that close relatives may interact positively via ecosystem feedbacks: leaf litter produced or exposed in a closely related neighbourhood (low phylogenetic isolation) may decompose more quickly, leading to more rapid nutrient recycling.
