We investigated community structure, trophic ecology (using stable isotope ratios; 15 N/14
N, 13 C/12 C) and reproductive mode of oribatid mites (Acari, Oribatida) along an altitudinal …

Many traits including trophic niche parameters are attributed to species. However, generalist
species may vary in trophic niches with environments, making species‐based knowledge …

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 …

Despite the ubiquity of oribatid mites in soil and litter systems, and their importance in
decomposition and nutrient cycling processes, little is known of the factors underlying the …

Two different microhabitats (cropped fields versus established datepalm farms) in two
different cities in Khuzestan Province, Southwestern Iran, were sampled monthly during …

The general ecology, biology, life history, and available sources for identification of oribatid
mites (including Astigmata), the most numerically dominant arachnid group in the organic …

The ability of soil-living oribatid mites to disperse fungal propagules on their bodies was
investigated. Classical plating methods were applied to cultivate these fungi and to study …

(Arachnida: Acari) in a natural soil of central Argentina. Zoological Studies 44 (4): 505-512.
Despite the potential ecological importance of mites (Acari) in uncultivated soils adjacent to …

The oribatid communities in the soil of two microhabitats of a dry cow pasture were
observed. The microhabitats differed by cow grazing. The vegetation cover of grazed plot …
