Niche dimensions in soil oribatid mite community assembly under native and introduced tree species

Ecology and Evolution
Forest soils are a critical component of terrestrial ecosystems and host a large number of animal decomposer species. One diverse and abundant decomposer taxon is oribatid mites (Acari: Oribatida), whose species composition varies with forest type and ...

Tree species richness affects the trophic structure of soil oribatid mites via litter functional diversity and canopy cover: Evidence from stable isotope analysis (15N, 13C)

Geoderma
Tree species richness affects biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. Investigating its effect on soil animals and their trophic ecology is crucial for understanding soil food web functioning.

Oribatid mites in a changing world

, 2011
The main scope of this thesis is to illustrate the validity of oribatid mites as tools for palaeoecological reconstructions. Palaeoecology studies the responses of past organisms to past environmental changes. This can be accomplished through the use of biological proxies, which are indicators of past conditions.
