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.

Effects of Alternative Prey Density on Cannibalism in Adult Female <i>Neoseiulus californicus</i>. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Using two strains of N. californicus—TU (reared long‐term on T. urticae) and OB (reared long‐term on O. bakeri)—this study demonstrated that although alternative prey density had no significant effect on cannibalism, both rearing strain and conspecific life stage significantly influenced cannibalistic behavior, with a significant interaction between ...

Integrating Megabarcoding and Metabarcoding to Unlock Diversity and Distribution Data Shortfalls in Dark Taxa. [PDF]

Mol Ecol Resour
ABSTRACT Persistent biodiversity data shortfalls undermine our capacity to detect species, map their distributions and characterize their spatial genetic structure, limiting robust biogeographic analyses and the development of effective conservation strategies.

Effect of coupled reduced irrigation and nitrogen fertilizer on soil mite community composition in a wheat field. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2019
Moderate reductions of IR and N fertilizer may not decrease crop production or threaten to soil organism community and diversity. On the contrary, it will benefit to decrease agricultural inputs and maintain the sustainable development of agriculture.

Feeding habits and multifunctional classification of soil‐associated consumers from protists to vertebrates

Biological Reviews, Volume 97, Issue 3, Page 1057-1117, June 2022., 2022
ABSTRACT Soil organisms drive major ecosystem functions by mineralising carbon and releasing nutrients during decomposition processes, which supports plant growth, aboveground biodiversity and, ultimately, human nutrition. Soil ecologists often operate with functional groups to infer the effects of individual taxa on ecosystem functions and services ...
