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.

Commodity risk assessment of Malus domestica plants from Turkey. [PDF]

EFSA J, 2022
Abstract The European Commission requested the EFSA Panel on Plant Health to prepare and deliver risk assessments for commodities listed in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2019 as ‘High risk plants, plant products and other objects’. This Scientific Opinion covers plant health risks posed by dormant grafted plants, rootstocks, budwood and ...

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 ...

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.

Pest categorisation of Cenopalpus irani. [PDF]

EFSA J
Abstract The EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of Cenopalpus irani (Trombidiformes: Tenuipalpidae), known as the Iranian false spider mite, following the commodity risk assessment of Malus domestica plants from Türkiye, in which C.

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 ...

Resilience in coastal dune grasslands: pH and soil organic matter effects on P nutrition, plant strategies, and soil communities

Ecosphere, Volume 11, Issue 5, May 2020., 2020
Abstract Soil organic matter (SOM) and pH are key ecosystem drivers, influencing resilience to environmental change. We tested the separate effects of pH and SOM on nutrient availability, plant strategies, and soil community composition in calcareous and acidic Grey dunes (H2130) with low, intermediate, and/or high SOM, which differ in sensitivity to ...

Vegetation structure define mite assemblage on plants: a case study in Cerrado biome

Entomological Communications, 2022
We compared abundance and richness of mites on Miconia albicans (Sw.) Steud. (Melastomataceae) found in Cerrado grassland (CGR) and in Cerrado sensu stricto (CSS), in order to evaluate the effect of plant physiognomy on mite assemblage structure, in the
