A framework for the ecology of arid Australia
TL;DR: This article developed a series of "propositions" which state explicit models about the functioning of inland Australia, based on its special physical environment, including an extremely unpredictable but only moderately arid climate, ancient and infertile soils, and a high degree of soil differentiation.

Factors influencing microhabitat partitioning in arid-land darkling beetles (Tenebrionidae): temperature and water conservation
TL;DR: Four species of Eleodes darkling beetles, inhabiting different microhabitats in an arid, sagebrush–steppe ecosystem, were evaluated in the laboratory for interspecific differences in temperature preferences, high temperature tolerances, water loss and metabolic rates, and it is concluded that differences inmicrohabitat use appear to be independent of inherent physiological capabilities of energy metabolism or water conservation.

Biogeomorphology of a Mojave Desert landscape — Configurations and feedbacks of abiotic and biotic land surfaces during landform evolution
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the abiotic and biotic configurations of landform units as mosaics within a Mojave Desert chronosequence and elucidated their potential feedbacks, interactions, and dynamics during landform evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Habitat selection and assemblage structure of darkling beetles (Col. Tenebrionidae) along environmental gradients on the island of Tenerife (Canary Islands)
TL;DR: In this article, the relationship between biocoenotic variation trends in the darkling beetle assemblage and several environmental variables of sampling plots at different elevations were investigated at different spatial scales.

How relevant are house dust mite-fungal interactions in laboratory culture to the natural dust system?
TL;DR: It is concluded that mites do interact with a similar range of fungi in natural dust and in laboratory culture, but that the diversity of fungal species in the laboratory is reduced and the density of individual fungalspecies in culture exceeds that of house dust.
