Juvenile instars of Sellnickia caudata (Michael, 1908) (Acari, Oribatida, Sellnickiidae).

Juvenile instars of Sellnickia caudata (Michael, 1908) are described, based on specimens collected from tree branches and leaves of Dipterocarpus alatus in Vietnam.

Cyclic and linear trajectories of ecosystem evolution on sand dunes in Siberian taiga: A comprehensive analysis.

Extensive unforested sandy areas on the margins of floodplains and riverbeds, formed by dunes, barchans, and accumulation berms, are a ubiquitous feature across northern Eurasia and Alaska. These dynamic landscapes, which bear witness to the complex Holocene and modern climatic fluctuations, provide a unique opportunity to study ecosystem evolution. Within this heterogeneous assemblage, active dunes, characterized by their very sparse plant communities, contrast sharply with the surrounding taiga (boreal) forests common for the stabilized dunes.
