-The objectives of this work were to identify the edaphic mites collected in Piracicaba, State of São Paulo, and to determine the specific predominance in each of the environments studied. Soil samples were collected in three different environments, namely in an area of secondary forest, an area of perennial crops, represented by a rubber tree plantation (Hevea brasiliensis Müll. Arg.), clone RRIM 600 and an area of annual crops (corn followed by bean). Litter samples were collected in the patch of secondary forest and the rubber tree plantation. The edaphic mites were extracted through a modification of the Berlese-Tullgren method. A total of 49 species in 30 genera of Gamasida were identified in the soil and litter substrata. In the soil, the most abundant species in the secondary forest were Ologamasus sp. 1 (Ologamasidae) and Cosmolaelaps sp. 1 (Laelapidae). In the rubber tree plantation, Vulgarogamasus sp. (Parasitidae) and Cosmolaelaps sp. 2 (Laelapidae) were the most abundant species. In the area of annual crops, Protogamasellus mica (Athias-Henriot) (Ascidae) was by far the dominant species. In the litter, the most abundant species in the secondary forest were Ologamasus sp. 1 and Ologamasus sp. 2 (Ologamasidae), Podocinum sagax Berlese (Podocinidae) and Cosmolaelaps sp. 1 (Laelapidae), while in the rubber tree plantation the dominant species were Cosmolaelaps sp. 2 (Laelapidae) and Amblyseius hexadens Karg (Phytoseiidae).

“…Mite species which were supposed to be fungal feeders may also prey on nematodes [128] and possibly protozoa [127]. Predatory microarthropods feeding on nematodes and other microarthropods may also ingest fungal hyphae [64,91]. Brussaard et al [14] found that nitrogen mineralization was significantly increased by the bacterivorous mite Histiostoma litorale and by the bacterivorous nematode Acrobeloides buetschlii in microcosms containing sterilized soil amended with luzerne meal and inoculated with a soil suspension containing a mix of bacteria and protozoa.…”

− Nutrient acquisition by plants occurs in an environment characterized by complex interactions between roots, micro-organisms and animals, termed the rhizosphere. Competition for mineral elements in this sphere is high. The rhizosphere processes are driven by photosynthetically fixed carbon released by roots either directly to mycorrhizal fungal symbionts or as exudates fuelling a wider spectrum of organisms, mainly bacteria. In particular, the role of the soil fauna interacting with rhizosphere micro-organisms and plant roots has so far found little attention. We present evidence that the interaction between plant roots, root exudates and micro-organisms can only be understood in relation to soil faunal activity, indicating that the soil fauna has an important function in regulating rhizosphere microbial processes and therefore significantly affects plant growth. © 2000 Éditions scientifiques et médicales Elsevier SAS rhizosphere / microbial activity / soil biota / food web interactions / plant growth

“…Sin embargo, debido a que las características morfológicas de este grupo aun no han sido claramente defi nidas (Hoffmann & López-Campos 1995), no se logró determinar la especie. Hypoaspis y Cosmolaelaps han sido mencionados como importantes depredadores de otros ácaros, otros artrópodos y nematodos con gran potencial para el control biológico de plagas (Moore et al 1988). El resto de las familias de Mesostigmata fueron Phytoseiidae (25,4%) y Macrochelidae (17,1%) mientras que Ascidae, Heterozerconidae y Ologamasidae fueron colectadas pocas veces (entre 3% y 7%) y sólo fue registrado un género por familia (Cuadro 2).…”

Neotropical Entomology 37(5): 591-596 (2008) Prostigmata and Mesostigmata Mites Associated to Litter from the University Park UCLA, Lara State, VenezuelaABSTRACT -Richness and abundance of Prostigmata and Mesostigmata mites inhabiting litter from a gallery forest in the university park at the Universidad Centroccidental Lisandro Alvarado (UCLA), Lara State, Venezuela were studied. Mites were captured using a pitfall trap along an 1800 m-transect from November 2000 to December 2001. Higher richness and abundance were registered for Prostigmata with 18 genera in eight families. In Mesostigmata, 11 genera included in six families were found. Of the 2085 Prostigmatan mites collected, 69.6% belonged to the Eupodidae genera Eupodes and Linopodes. Of the 398 Mesostigmata collected, 40.7% belonged to the Laelapidae; four genera of this family were found, being Hypoaspis and Cosmolaelaps the most abundant, with 28.6 and 8.0% of the Mesostigmata collected, respectively. Further studies, including Cryptostigmata, are required to improve the knowledge about the acarofauna diversity of soil-litter strata of the study area.KEY WORDS: Eupodes, Linopodes, Hypoaspis, Cosmolaelaps, richness, abundance RESUMEN -Se estudió la riqueza y abundancia de los géneros de ácaros Prostigmata y Mesostigmata habitantes de la hojarasca en un bosque de galería del Parque Universitario de la Universidad Centroccidental Lisandro Alvarado (UCLA), Estado Lara, Venezuela. Las capturas fueron realizadas utilizando trampas de caída ubicadas a lo largo de una transecta de 1800 m de longitud desde noviembre 2000 hasta diciembre 2001. La mayor riqueza y abundancia fueron registradas en el Orden Prostigmata con 18 géneros en ocho familias, mientras que en el Orden Mesostigmata se encontraron 11 géneros incluidos en seis familias. Del total de ácaros Prostigmata (2085), Eupodidae estuvo representada por los géneros Eupodes y Linopodes, que explicaron el 69,6% de la abundancia en la hojarasca. Para los Mesostigmata (398 individuos), Laelapidae fue la más abundante (40,7%) y de mayor riqueza con cuatro géneros encontrados, de los cuales Hypoaspis y Cosmolaelaps resultaron los más abundantes 28,6% y 8%, respectivamente. Se requiere más investigación para incluir a los Cryptostigmata y completar la información sobre la diversidad de la acarofauna del estrato suelo-hojarasca del Parque Universitario.
