Blattisocius mali is a soil predatory mite known to disperse phoretically on adult drosophilid fruit flies and feed ectoparasitically on them during transport. Despite this association, its behavioural and trophic interactions with immature drosophilid stages remain poorly understood. This study analysed B. mali ’s ability to prey on Drosophila hydei immature stages and examined the effects of prior rearing diet on predation,...

Aim This study examines the impact of atmospheric CO 2 concentration on pollinator communities, focusing on body size‐related responses. It aims to understand how natural CO 2 variability influences pollinator abundance and diversity, and to assess potential ecological consequences for pollination services and ecosystem stability. Location The study was conducted across the Pothwar Plateau in Punjab, Pakistan, covering five di...
