DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9036
Abstract: Abstract Sex is evolutionarily more costly than parthenogenesis, evolutionary ecologists therefore wonder why sex is much more frequent than parthenogenesis in the majority of animal lineages. Intriguingly, parthenogenetic individuals and species are as common as… read more here.

Contrasting structures of plant–mite networks compounded by phytophagous and predatory mite species
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Experimental and Applied Acarology"
DOI: 10.1007/s10493-018-0250-2
Abstract: Differences in the feeding habits between phytophagous and predatory species can determine distinct ecological interactions between mites and their host plants. Herein, plant–mite networks were constructed using available literature on plant-dwelling mites from Brazilian natural… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10526-017-9813-0
Abstract: The broad mite is a key pest of various crops worldwide, including chili pepper (Capsicum frutescens), where it is controlled with chemical pesticides. Two phytoseiid predators (Amblyseius herbicolus and Neoseiulus barkeri) and a blattisociid mite… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s13355-018-0595-3
Abstract: For this study, we developed a PCR-based method to identify the ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences of six phytoseiid mite species found in Japanese pear orchards: Neoseiulus californicus (McGregor), Neoseiulus womersleyi (Schicha), Neoseiulus makuwa… read more here.

Do intraguild prey protect their eggs from intraguild predators that share their oviposition site?

DOI: 10.1016/j.anbehav.2018.04.005
Abstract: Intraguild (IG)-prey prefer to oviposit at sites with a low IG-predation risk of their offspring. However, IG-predators sometimes show oviposition preferences similar to those of IG-prey. In such cases, IG-prey eggs might need protection against… read more here.

Amount and time course of ingestion of plant subcellular fractions by two thrips and one reference mite species

DOI: 10.1016/j.aspen.2019.06.002
Abstract: Abstract Thrips are known as cell-feeding sucking pests, but little information is available on which and how much of each subcellular fraction they ingest. In this study, the ingested amounts of nuclei and plastids in… read more here.

Multiple new species: Cryptic diversity in the widespread mite species Cymbaeremaeus cymba (Oribatida, Cymbaeremaeidae).

DOI: 10.1016/j.ympev.2019.03.008
Abstract: The absence of obvious morphological differences between species impedes species identification in many groups of organisms. Such cryptic species appear to be particularly common in small-bodied animals, impacting species richness estimates. In this study we… read more here.
