Season affects soil oribatid mite communities more than tree diversity in subtropical forests

Geoderma
Biodiversity is declining on a global scale with detrimental effects on ecosystem functioning. Effects of reduced tree diversity on the diversity of aboveground animals have been studied in detail, whereas the response of soil animals remains poorly ...

Biodiversity and species richness of oribatid mites (Acari: Oribatida) in orchards of East Azerbaijan province, Iran

Persian Journal of Acarology, 2019
Oribatid mites are one of the dominant soil microarthropods. These mites have an important role in increasing soil fertility through organic materials decomposition.

Transformation of rainforest into monoculture plantations alters the density, species richness and community composition of oribatid mites and selects for a higher dominance of parthenogenetic species

Global Ecology and Conservation
The transformation of rainforests into oil palm and rubber plantations poses a major threat to tropical biodiversity. This has been well documented for a number of above- and belowground taxa; however, to what extent this applies to oribatid mites is ...

Seasonal fluctuation of oribatid mite communities in forest microhabitats [PDF]

PeerJ, 2018
Oribatid mites are abundant and diverse decomposers in almost all terrestrial microhabitats, especially in temperate forests. Although their functional importance in the decomposition system in these forests has been investigated, spatio-temporal ...

Multi‐trophic bottom‐up effects of plant functional diversity on arthropod communities in a tropical forest restoration experiment

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plant diversity affects both ecosystem functioning and the functional and taxonomic diversity of multiple trophic levels. However, in the literature, it is unclear if this pattern is driven by species richness per se or by the functional diversity or composition (e.g ...
