Endemism of Uropodina Mites: Spurious or Real?
Diversity, 2020 Analyzing the data from the existing literature about geographic distribution of mites from the suborder Uropodina (Acari: Mesostigmata), one can get the impression that this group of mites is characterized by an unusual extent of endemism on a global ...

DiversityUropodina mites are organisms regularly found in the breeding sites of vertebrates. However, studies devoted to the nest dwellers of hole-nesting birds have been performed nearly exclusively in artificial places, i.e., nest boxes.

Uropodina mites (Acari: Mesostigmata) from agricultural areas of Ecuador [PDF]
Opuscula Zoologica Instituti Zoosystematici et Oecologici Universitatis Budapestinensis, 2016 Soil and leaf-litter samples of several agroecosystems (banana, cacao, coffee, and Monterey pine plantations) in Ecuador were investigated regarding soil dwelling Uropodina. Short notes are given on the plantations and on the recorded mite species with

Uropodina mites (Acari) collected in Costa Rica, I [PDF]
Opuscula Zoologica Instituti Zoosystematici et Oecologici Universitatis Budapestinensis, 2009 In this paper six Uropodina species are presented from Costa Rica. Two of them, Oplitis pecki Hirschmann, 1991 and Uroobovella faceta Hiramatsu & Hirschmann, 1978 are already known, however the other four species; Rotundabaloghia unisetosa, Trigonuropoda

Uropodina mites of East-Africa (Acari: Mesostigmata) I. [PDF]
Opuscula Zoologica Instituti Zoosystematici et Oecologici Universitatis Budapestinensis, 2006 Five new Uropodina species (Afrotrachytes longicaudatus sp. n., Polyaspis africanus sp. n., Trigonuropoda gerei sp. n., Trigonuropoda takacsi sp. n., Macrodinycus alveolaris sp. n.) are described from East-Africa (Tanzania and Kenya). They belong to four

Body size-dependent effects on the distribution patterns of phoretic mite species assemblages on Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier, 1790). [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2023 We report a high species richness of up to seven phoretic mite taxa, including five unspecified taxa, actively using the red palm weevil as a host in the first study of these organisms in Portugal. We also found body size‐dependent effects on the coexistence or exclusion of phoretic mite taxa that ultimately determine their distribution patterns on the

Opening up new niche dimensions: The stoichiometry of soil microarthropods in European beech and Norway spruce forests. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2023 Soil mite taxa differed in their stoichiometry, indicating the existence of multidimensional stoichiometric niches in soil mites. Litter stoichiometry as well as stoichiometric niches between the two forest types did not differ pointing to limited elemental niche plasticity.

Thriving in a hostile world: Insights from the dietary strategy of two allopatric, closely related tepui summit endemic amphibians. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2021 We analyzed the dietary composition of a tepui summit endemic toad, Oreophrynella quelchii from Roraima‐tepui, and compared its diet with that of O. nigrafrom Kukenán‐tepui, to examine whether diet differs between these two sister species across isolated, although neighboring, tepui tops.

Notes on the morphology and the Romanian distribution of Uroobovella hungarica Hirschmann & Zirngiebl- Nicol, 1962 (Acari: Uropodina) [PDF]
Opuscula Zoologica Instituti Zoosystematici et Oecologici Universitatis Budapestinensis, 2013 A very rare Uropodina mite species; Uroobovella hungarica Hirschmann & Zirngiebl-Nicol, 1962 was discovered in several parts (e.g. Transylvania, Oltenia) of Romania. A new description is given accompanied with several characters not investigated earlier.
