“…Mites also often show additional adhesive pads for attachment ( e.g. , Dunlop, 2002 ) but the majority of soil-dwelling oribatid mites lack these structures ( Pfingstl, 2023 ). There are presently ca.…”

“…, Behan-Pelletier & Walter, 2000 ). A recent review article ( Pfingstl, 2023 ) highlighted a huge variety of claw expressions in oribatid mites and demonstrated that almost nothing is known about the interaction of these claws with specific environments. Despite ongoing research, little is currently known about the precise reasons behind the development of specific claw formations or the existence of varying numbers of claws.…”

“…These crotonioid species often occurring in wet habitats show the shortest claws in our dataset, which raises the question how they ensure firm attachment while being flooded. In contrast to the littoral and most semiaquatic species, these Crotonioidea possess thickened and barbed distal tarsal setae which are supposed to support the claws in attaching to the substrate during submergence in water 15 and this could explain the shortness of their claws.…”

“…For example, most insects and some mites possess adhesive pads or other structures, in addition to the claws, to maintain grip on a variety of surfaces (e.g. 14 , 15 . The pads are mainly used to cling to smooth surfaces while the claws allow attachment to rougher ground 16 .…”
