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

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

First data on ontogeny of the oribatid mite family Caloppiidae (Acari, Oribatida), with description of juvenile instars of the representative of the genus Zetorchella.

Zootaxa, 2023
Juvenile instars of Zetorchella arsiensis (Oribatida, Caloppiidae) are described, based on specimens collected from mosses on the swamp at the top of the mountain in Arsi Mountains National Park, Ethiopia.

Mites (Oribatida and Mesostigmata) and vegetation as complementary bioindicators in peatlands.

Science of the Total Environment, 2022
Vegetation is widely used in the assessment of the quality of peatlands, while the invertebrate fauna of peatlands is relatively poorly studied.

Water, rather than temperature, dominantly impacts how soil fauna affect dissolved carbon and nitrogen release from fresh litter during early litter decomposition [PDF]

, 2016
Longstanding observations suggest that dissolved materials are lost from fresh litter through leaching, but the role of soil fauna in controlling this process has been poorly documented.

Soil conditions under cormorant colonies favor for mites excepting Oribatida

Acarologia, 2022
Over the last few decades, the population of the great cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo L., 1758) in Europe has been rising. The formation of large nesting and roosting colonies in relatively small areas, their rapid metabolism and the excretion of ...

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

Diversity, 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 ...

Older Lineages of Oribatid Mites in Mountain Ranges Have Broader Geographic Ranges and Exhibit More Generalistic Traits. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We investigated the radiation and trait diversity of soil oribatid mites from two mountain ranges (the Alps and Changbai Mountain). We found that phylogenetically older oribatid mites of mountain ranges have broader trophic variation, larger geographical range sizes, and more often reproduce via parthenogenesis.

The Soil Chemical Properties Influencing the Oribatid Mite (Acari; Oribatida) Abundance and Diversity in Coal Ash Basin Vicinage

Applied Sciences, 2021
The samples of two technogenic sediments (MOS, coal ash sediment; MOD, a mixture of ash and natural soil) and two natural soils (MOM, meadow; MOF—forest; both Cambisol Dystric) in the vicinage of the coal ash basin were studied. We evaluated risk element

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

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

A survey of lifespans in Oribatida excluding Astigmata (Acari)

Zoosymposia, 2021
This contribution provides an update on the duration of life cycles and lifespans of oribatid mites based on a literature review. The total lifespan is the sum of the immature developmental time (egg to adult) and the longevity of the adult.
