“…As it was noted earlier (Norton 1980;Ermilov & Frolov 2019a), beetles of the family Passalidae are one of the representatives of Coleoptera which are actively used by oribatid mites for phoresy. Norton (1980) presented data on unidentified Mesoplophora, Malaconothrus, Oppia, Protoribates, Scheloribates and Metaleius spp.…”

“…Some oribatid species have morphological adaptations for attachment to the beetles (e.g., phoretic ptyctimous mites clasps the body setae of hosts between the rostrum of the aspis and the anterior portion of the genital plates; some Oppiidae and Scheloribatidae have modified leg claws allowing mites to be attached to the hosts) (see Norton 1980;Ermilov & Frolov 2019a,b). The majority of oribatid species have no morphological adaptations for phoresy, however the hosts have many unexposed body places on the ventral side (e.g., various grooves, ditches, poles) and under elytra, where a phoretic mite could ‗hide' and held on any surface that has some irregularity using the force of the leg claws (Ermilov & Frolov 2019a).…”

“…During the taxonomic identification of phoretic oribatids 1 on the passalid beetle, Macrolinus batesi (Passalidae) from Indonesia, I found one new species belonging to the genus Graptoppia Balogh, 1983, the subgenus Stenoppia Balogh, 1983. This subgenus comprises seven species, which are distributed in the Ethiopian, Neotropical and Oriental regions, as well as the Mediterranean and Japan (Ermilov & Frolov 2019a). The main diagnostic characters of Graptoppia (Stenoppia) were summarized by Balogh (1983), Subías & Balogh (1989), and Balogh & Balogh (1992).…”

A new species of oribatid mites (Oribatida) phoretic on the beetle, Macrolinus batesi (Coleoptera, Passalidae) is described from Sumatra, Indonesia. Graptoppia (Stenoppia) royi sp. nov. (Oppiidae) differs from G. (S.) italica by the smaller body size, the presence of thin transcostula and the absence of costulae. Data on oribatids phoretic on passalid beetles are summarized; nine identified oribatid species (from 19 beetle species) are listed.

Two new species of oribatid mites of the genus Perscheloribates (Oribatida, Scheloribatidae), phoretic on passalid and zopherid beetles (Coleoptera), are described from the Philippines and U.S.A., based on adults. Perscheloribates paracuriosus n. sp. differs from Perscheloribates curiosus Ermilov, 2016 by the length and morphology of notogastral and adanal setae, the presence of lateral keel-shaped ridge, and the absence of custodium. Perscheloribates parakontumensis n. sp. differs from Perscheloribates kontumensis Ermilov and Frolov, 2019 by the morphology of notogastral setae and the absence of body sculpturing and setae it on leg tarsi I–III.

Heathland restoration using topsoil removal requires the re‐colonization of above‐ and belowground communities. Oribatid mites play a key role in the comminution of organic matter and are frequently early colonizers during succession despite their limited mobility. Whereas the assembly of their communities may take decades, passive dispersal likely dominates colonization processes, but especially dispersal via other animals (phoresy) remains poorly studied. Compared to other potential hosts, movement habits and ecology of small rodents may provide dispersal advantages to oribatid communities. We studied dispersal of oribatid mites via small rodents in restored heathland sites of different age. We measured movement patterns of small rodents and extracted mites from their pelts and nests to estimate annual contributions of these rodents to the dispersal of oribatids. We also discussed phoretic estimates reported on other host groups as a reference. Probability estimates of oribatids in pelts and nests showed lower occurrence frequencies compared to other reported phoretic hosts. However, local rodent communities may aid the dispersal of up to 41,000 oribatid mites per year. We highlight the high diversity of oribatid species mounting rodents, unlike strong species‐specific filters reported in other passive pathways. We found that over half (58%) of the oribatid species reproduced asexually and over a third (32%) had a soil‐dwelling lifestyle. We also observed that rodents often travel short distances below 40 m, but occasionally reach distances of up to 100 m, especially in earlier successional stages. Synthesis and applications. Our results suggest that rodents may contribute to assembly processes of soil‐dwelling oribatid communities given the slow turnover rate of this group in heathlands. This is accomplished through short‐distance dispersal, and especially in sites at early stages of succession. To our knowledge, we are the first to quantitatively assess the potential dispersal of oribatid mites via rodents.
