Soil 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

Functional 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]
PLoS 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 ...

Oikos, 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.

A checklist of halacarid mites (Acari, Halacaridae) associated with echinoderms (Echinodermata)
Persian Journal of Acarology, 2021 A compilation of halacarid mite species (Halacaridae) found associated with echinoderms (Echinodermata) has been carried out based on published records. In this paper, we listed 20 halacarid mite species associated with echinoderms altogether.

Another tool in the toolbox: Aphid‐specific Wolbachia protect against fungal pathogens
Environmental Microbiology, Volume 26, Issue 11, November 2024.Wolbachia infected more than 80% of Pentalonia aphids sampled across the Hawaiian Islands and other locations. The aphid‐specific M‐supergroup strains of this symbiont protected against a specialist fungal pathogen, Pandora, but not the generalist pathogen Beauveria or the parasitoid Aphidius colemanii.

New Neotropical cunaxine species (Acari: Prostigmata: Cunaxidae) [PDF]
Zootaxa, 2012 Four new Brazilian cunaxine species, namely Armascirus brasiliensis Den Heyer sp. nov., A. bahiaensis Den Heyer sp.nov., Dactyloscirus saopauloensis Den Heyer sp. nov. and Riscus austroamericanus Den Heyer sp. nov. are described and figured. A key to the new species, as well as the known species of Riscus, is provided.
