The occurrence of soil fauna populations increases nutrient release by fragmentation of litter, grazing of microflora and improvement of soil structure. In floodplain forests of Central Amazonia, Acari represent up to 64% of the arthropod fauna in the litter and upper soil layers (0–3.5 cm; Table 16.2) and up to 19% of the monthly catches on tree ...

Oribatid mites: prospects for their use in ecotoxicology
Experimental & Applied Acarology, 1995Oribatid mites are a group of arthropods that have had remarkable evolutionary success with regard to species richness, variety of habitats colonized, life-cycle variation and reporductive patterns. The aim of this paper is to review some of the important features of Oribatida in relation to the possible use of these animals in ecotoxicological ...
