New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 52, Issue 5, Page 944-966, December 2025.ABSTRACT Alpine ecosystems are vulnerable to the warming climate, yet alpine soil mesofauna remains the less studied part of NZ biodiversity. Here we present a survey of soil mesofauna communities of three mountain peaks in the Nelson‐Tasman and Marlborough regions of the South Island of New Zealand.

Ants do not prey upon an extrafloral‐nectar‐feeding predatory mite
Ecological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 5, Page 876-885, October 2025.The predatory mite Amblyseius herbicolus is an important natural enemy of various crop pests and occurs in agroforestry coffee systems, where it feeds on the extrafloral nectar of Inga trees. Because extrafloral nectaries are often vigorously defended by ants, we tested whether ants would attack and kill the mites near nectaries.

Soil 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.

Entomologia 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.
