Biodiversity, ecology, and behavior of the recently discovered insect order Mantophasmatodea
Roth, Steffen; Molina, Jorge; Predel, Reinhard (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-10-10)The spectacular discovery of the new insect order Mantophasmatodea in 2002 was immediately followed by detailed studies on morphology and scattered information on different aspects of its behavior and general biology. A ... -
Diverse mite communities (Acari: Oribatida, Mesostigmata) from a broadleaf forest in western Norway
Seniczak, Anna Beata; Bolger, Thomas; Roth, Steffen; Seniczak, Stanislaw; Djursvoll, Per; Jordal, Bjarte Henry (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Broadleaf forests are rare in Norway and they are considered one of the most biodiverse terrestrial habitats in Fennoscandia. These forests are poorly studied in terms of their acarofauna. Mites of two groups, Oribatida ... -
The evolution of female-biased genital diversity in bedbugs (Cimicidae)
Roth, Steffen; Siva-Jothy, Michael T.; Balvín, Ondřej; Morrow, Edward H.; Willassen, Endre; Reinhardt, Klaus (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Rapid genitalia evolution is believed to be mainly driven by sexual selection. Recently, noncopulatory genital functions have been suggested to exert stronger selection pressure on female genitalia than copulatory functions. ... -
A Forest Pool as a Habitat Island for Mites in a Limestone Forest in Southern Norway
Seniczak, Anna; Seniczak, Stanisław; Graczyk, Radomir; Kaczmarek, Sławomir; Jordal, Bjarte Henry; Kowalski, Jaroslaw; Djursvoll, Per; Roth, Steffen; Bolger, Thomas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021-11-12)Forest water bodies, e.g., pools, constitute ‘environmental islands’ within forests, with specific flora and fauna thus contributing considerably to the landscape biodiversity. The mite communities of Oribatida and ... -
High Diversity of Mites (Acari: Oribatida, Mesostigmata) Supports the High Conservation Value of a Broadleaf Forest in Eastern Norway
Seniczak, Anna; Seniczak, Stanislaw; Stary, Josef; Kaczmarek, Slawomir; Jordal, Bjarte Henry; Kowalski, Jaroslaw; Roth, Steffen; Djursvoll, Per; Bolger, Thomas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Broadleaf forests are critical habitats for biodiversity and this biodiversity is in turn essential for their proper functioning. Mites (Acari) are a numerous and functionally essential component of these forests. We report ... -
High genetic diversity of common toad (Bufo bufo) populations under strong natural fragmentation on a Northern archipelago
Roth, Steffen; Jehle, Robert (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-03)The last decades have shown a surge in studies focusing on the interplay between fragmented habitats, genetic variation, and conservation. In the present study, we consider the case of a temperate pond-breeding anuran (the ... -
Type of broadleaf forest matters most for ptyctimous mite communities (Acari, Oribatida) in Norway
Seniczak, Anna; Niedbała, Wojciech; Iturrondobeitia, J. Carlos; Seniczak, Stanislaw; Roth, Steffen; Jordal, Bjarte Henry (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)We studied ptyctimous moss mites, which are characteristic of forest habitats, in Norwegian broadleaf forests considered as biodiversity hotspot areas in Fennoscandia. The study aimed to evaluate the effect of different ...
