Patterns and drivers of soil surface‐dwelling Oribatida diversity along an altitudinal gradient on the Changbai Mountain, China [PDF]

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2023
Distribution patterns of biodiversity and environmental interactions are dominant themes in ecology. In montane ecosystems, biodiversity is closely associated with altitudinal gradients.

Microhabitat Selectivity of Mites (Acari) in a Natural Lowland Beech Forest (Melico-Fagetum) in Wronie Reserve (Poland) [PDF]

open access: yesInsects
The European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) is a tree species common throughout Europe, with the eastern boundary of its range extending across Poland. Samples were collected in several microhabitats of beech stands (e.g., leaf litter, rotting wood, moss ...

Listado sistemático, sinonímico y biogeográfico de los ácaros oribátidos (Acariformes, Oribatida) del mundo (1758-2002)

open access: diamondGraellsia, 2004
Se elabora por primera vez un listado mundial de ácaros oribátidos y en él se relacionan sistemáticamente las cerca de 9.000 especies (y subespecies) válidas hasta ahora descritas con sus correspondientes sinonimias, más de un millar, las cuales se ...

Invertebrates in the gradient of different age soils under a birdcliff at the Grønfjord Area (Svalbard, Arctic) [PDF]

open access: yesКавказский энтомологический бюллетень, 2020
The aim of this study was a preliminary analysis of the distribution of microarthropods (Oribatida, Collembola) and herpetobiontic invertebrates (Aranei, Coleoptera) in soils of different ages under a seabird colony in the vicinity of the Barentsburg ...

Repeated convergent evolution of parthenogenesis in Acariformes (Acari)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2021
The existence of old species‐rich parthenogenetic taxa is a conundrum in evolutionary biology. Such taxa point to ancient parthenogenetic radiations resulting in morphologically distinct species.

A Forest Pool as a Habitat Island for Mites in a Limestone Forest in Southern Norway

open access: yesDiversity, 2021
Forest water bodies, e.g., pools, constitute ‘environmental islands’ within forests, with specific flora and fauna thus contributing considerably to the landscape biodiversity.

Soil microarthropods respond differently to simulated drought in organic and conventional farming systems

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2021
In Central Europe, summer droughts are increasing in frequency which threatens production and biodiversity in agroecosystems. The potential of different farming systems to mitigate detrimental drought effects on soil animals is largely unknown.

Lichen-Associated Oribatid Mites in the Taiga Zone of Northeast European Russia: Taxonomical Composition and Geographical Distribution of Species

open access: yesDiversity, 2023
We examined 35 species of ground and epiphytic lichens, including fruticose, foliose, and crustose lichen, as habitats of oribatid mites. Observations were carried out in the taiga forests of northeast European Russia, and 87 oribatid species from 38 ...

The effect of mowing on moss mites (Acari, Oribatida) of Xerothermic reserve Gruczno

open access: yesActa Biologica, 2015
The xerothermic plant communities mowing with different frequency and the brushwood of blackthorn overgrowing the not mowing surface of reserve were investigated.
