“…Mowing of meadows or grazing and trampling of pastures by domestic animals have such strong effects on oribatid communities (Maraun and Scheu 2000) that the effects of other factors, e.g. seasonality, can be less visible (Eitminavičiūtė 2006;Eitminavičiūtė et al 2008). In addition, if humidity and temperature remain within the tolerance range of oribatid species, they have little effect on the abundance and structure of the mite communities (Maraun and Scheu 2000).…”

Seasonal dynamics of mites (Acari) in pastures and meadows in Poland, with species analysis of Oribatida

et al. 2020

The study involved three pastures, grazed by geese, goats and fallow deer, and three nearby meadows (control plots) situated in north-central Poland. Samples of 150 cm3 each (6 cm of soil and 3 cm of lower parts of plants) were collected in spring, summer and autumn 2016 and 2017 in 10 replications, 360 samples in total. This material included 22.561 mites, among which Oribatida accounted for 69%, Mesostigmata for 21%, and other mites for 10%. At most study sites, both pastures and meadows, no significant seasonal differences in the abundance of Oribatida and Mesostigmata were seen. Such differences were only observed for the third category of other mites that were the most abundant in spring and usually the least abundant in autumn. Also species diversity of Oribatida differed between the seasons – in all pastures it was the highest in summer and the lowest in spring, while in all meadows it was the highest in spring and decreased towards autumn. Oribatid species were more affected by the habitats than by seasons, as some species were strongly associated with pastures (Platynothrus peltifer), other with meadows (Achipteria coleoptrata, Liebstadia similis, Metabelba pulverosa, Scheloribates laevigatus and Sellnickochthonius immaculatus), and some (Eupelops occultus and Tectocepheus velatus) were abundant in both habitats. Although the effect of seasonality was weaker than that of the habitat, it was still perceptible. Platynothrus peltifer was most associated with autumn, T. velatus with spring, E. occultus with spring and summer and L. similis with summer.

“…In total, 141 Oribatida species were recorded in pine forests of Lithuania (Eitminavichute, 2003) and two of those T. velatus velatus and O. (Oppiella) nova were dominant (Eitminavichute et al, 2008). Manu and Honciuc (2010) recorded 54 Oribatida species in parks of Bucharest city in Romania.…”

A study on ecology and diversity of soil invertebrates of urban pine and mixed pine forests was carried out in seven different sampling plots in Rīga during 2014. Ninety eight soil samples were processed and in total, 40 426 specimens were extracted (of them, 25 237 specimens were identified to species level and 15 189 to order level). Indices (abundance, community similarity etc.) characterising faunal diversity and species communities of Rīga city soil fauna were estimated. The most numerous soil invertebrate groups were Collembola, Oribatida and Mesostigmata, accounting for 95% of all collected animals. There was rather high diversity of soil invertebrates in the disturbed urban forest habitats, but undisturbed soils harbour a greater species richness of mite fauna than disturbed soils.

“…Slow climate change does not cause a radical change in the community structure in the forest ecosystem because vegetation mitigates the stress caused by climate change. If there is direct human intervention, where vegetation is removed and the soil is cultivated, the soil fauna is subjected to much greater stress and the community structure changes more rapidly (Eitminavičiūtė et al, 2008). This is why it is important to maintain vegetation as it mitigates the effects of climate change.…”

Ecological indication potential of oribatid mites

Ecological indication potential of oribatid mites has been emphasized by researchers for several decades. These small arthropods possess biological characteristics through which they are able to indicate different changes in their environment. Oribatid mites can be found in almost every kind of habitat worldwide: terrestrial and aquatic habitats, and a lot of types of microhabitats (e.g, soil, lichen, moss, tree bark, foliage). Apart from the diversity of habitats, their huge adaptation ability is also shown by great abundance and species richness. In most habitats, they constitute the largest proportion of microarthropods. This study deals with works whose results point to the characteristics of oribatid mites that would allow their wider use in the ecological indication than at present.
