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 ... -
Distribution and spread of the invasive slug Arion vulgaris Moquin - Tandon in Norway
Hatteland, Bjørn Arild; Roth, Steffen; Andersen, Arild; Kaasa, Kristin; Støa, Bente; Solhøy, Torstein (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)The present distribution of the invasive slug Arion vulgaris Moquin-Tandon was studied in Norway. This important pest species has spread to many parts of Europe during the last decades, inflicting damage to agriculture and ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
A proteomic approach for studying insect phylogeny: CAPA peptides of ancient insect taxa (Dictyoptera, Blattoptera) as a test case
Roth, Steffen; Fromm, Bastian; Gäde, Gerd; Predel, Reinhard (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2009-03-03)Background: Neuropeptide ligands have to fit exactly into their respective receptors and thus the evolution of the coding regions of their genes is constrained and may be strongly conserved. As such, they may be suitable ... -
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 ...
