Inclusion of juvenile stages improves diversity assessment and adds to our understanding of mite ecology - A case study from mires in Norway. [PDF]
Arachnid orders, Mesostigmata, Trombidiformes, and Sarcoptiformes, commonly known as ‘mites’, are abundant in mires, both as adults and as juveniles. However, due to the challenges of identification, the juvenile forms are often excluded from analyses ...

Response of Amblyseius swirskii to deltamethrin. [PDF]
The analysis of toxicological and molecular data reveals target‐site as well as metabolic modifications associated with the resistance to deltamethrin in Amblyseius swirskii colonies. However, semi‐field assays show increased run‐off behavior after treatments with the same pesticide.

Hotspots of mite new species discovery: Trombidiformes (2013–2015)
This paper reveals the hotspots of new mite discovery through of a survey of type localities of new Trombidiformes species described in two journals (Systematic & Applied Acarology and Zootaxa) during the last three years (2013–2015). Taxonomically, the 491 new species of the Trombidiformes are highly unevenly distributed among 55 families with top

Multi-dimensional niche differentiation of two sympatric breeding secondary cave-nesting birds in Northeast China using DNA metabarcoding. [PDF]
Two sympatric secondary cavity‐nesting bird species have significant niche differentiation in breeding time and diet. Abstract Niche theory predicts that ecologically similar sympatric species should show differentiation in at least one of the main niche dimensions (time, space, and/or food). Here, we combined observations of breeding timing, nest site

Reinstatement of Eutrombicula butantanensis (Fonseca, 1932) (Trombidiformes: Trombiculidae)
Eutrombicula Ewing is currently represented with more than 80 species worldwide parasitizing amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. In the present study, we examined the type series and additional material of two Neotropical chigger's species: Eutrombicula butantanensis (Fonseca) and E. ophidica (Fonseca).

The Tenuipalpidae (Acari: Trombidiformes) of Israel
An annotated list and key to the 26 species of phytophagous false spider mites (Trombidiformes: Tenuipalpidae) known from Israel is provided. About two thirds are exotics, having invaded Israel within the last 35 years. Eight species, namely Brevipalpus californicus, B. lewisi, B. obovatus, B. phoenicis, B.
