Recent data on oribatid mites (Acari: Oribatida) indicates that Mediterranean soil
communities tend to show uneven patterns of species abundance distribution (SAD) that are …

A field study was conducted in the province of Burgos (Castile, NW of Spain) to assess the
role and influence of the different anthropic use of soil on the oribatid mite communities …

This work is a study of the communities of oribatid mites in steppic areas of Burgos Province,
central northern Spain, in relation to different habitat types belonging to natural or disturbed …

This review discusses the connection between quantitative changes of environmental
factors and oribatid communities. With the overview of available studies, it can be clearly …

Oribatid mites are one of the numerically dominant arthropod groups in soils. They play an
important role in soil food webs via regulating the decomposition of organic matter and …

The study aimed to characterize the distribution of soil mite populations (Acari: Gamasina)
from several terrestrial ecosystems, some of them little studied in Romania as well as in …

Peatlands host a large number of highly specialised species and are important carbon
storage and freshwater reservoirs, but are heavily threatened by, eg, peat extraction and …

An anthropic ecosystem from Romania was investigated from acarological, vegetation and
chemical point of view. The community structures of two groups of mites were studied (Acari …

Animal communities are sensitive to environmental disturbance, and several multivariate
methods have recently been developed to detect changes in community structure. The …

We investigated communities of oribatid mites in five peat bogs in the north-west of the East
European plain. We aimed to determine the extent to which geographic factors (latitude …
