Community structure, trophic position and reproductive mode of soil and bark-living oribatid mites in an alpine grassland ecosystem
BM Fischer, H Schatz, M Maraun - Experimental and applied acarology, 2010 - Springer
The community structure, stable isotope ratios (15 N/14 N, 13 C/12 C) and reproductive

Oribatid mite communities in mountain scree: stable isotopes (15N, 13C) reveal three trophic levels of exclusively sexual species
Mountain scree habitats are intermediate habitats between the base of the soil and the
bedrock. They are composed of a network of small cracks and voids, and are commonly …

High consistency of trophic niches in generalist arthropod species (Oribatida, Acari) across soil depth and forest type
Many traits including trophic niche parameters are attributed to species. However, generalist
species may vary in trophic niches with environments, making species‐based knowledge …

Resource availability as driving factor of the reproductive mode in soil microarthropods (Acari, Oribatida)
The availability of high quality resources is an important factor driving community structure
and reproductive mode of animals. Parthenogenetic reproduction prevails when resources …

Regional factors rather than forest type drive the community structure of soil living oribatid mites (Acari, Oribatida)
Most European forests are managed by humans. However, the manner and intensity of
management vary. While the effect of forest management on above-ground communities has …
