Trophic niche differentiation in soil microarthropods (Oribatida, Acari): evidence from stable isotope ratios ( 15 N/ 14 N)

TL;DR: This study for the first time documented strong trophic niche differentiation in decomposer microarthropods and suggests that trophics niche differentiation within taxonomic groups significantly contributes to the high diversity of soil animal taxa.

Trophic niche differentiation in soil microarthropods (Oribatida, Acari): evidence from stable isotope ratios (15N/14N)

TL;DR: In this paper, stable isotope ratios (15N/14N) in a diverse group of soil microarthropods, oribatid mites, were evaluated to evaluate trophic niche differentiation.

Morphological evidence for the evolutionary origin of Astigmata (Acari: Acariformes)

TL;DR: The general hypothesis that Astigmata originated within oribatid mites is refined and Malaconothridae as a possible sister group is suggested and brought to light evolutionary questions that were previously obscured by incorrect or inappropriate classifications.
