The experimental plots were divided in “pesticide and Accepted 15 January 2019 ” ploughed (PPL), "ploughed" (PL) and a" meadow" as control (Ctr). Soil samples were taken monthly KEYWORDS during the vegetation period (March-August) and once in three months (October and January) in Oribatid mites; pesticide a period without vegetation. Seventy-seven species of oribatid mites were determined. Species application; ploughing; numbers were highest in Ctr (55 species), lower in PPL (53) and lowest in PL (41). Oribatid communities arable land; agriculture were dominated by sexually reproducing Brachypylina. Some of the generally frequent parthenoge- netic species (e.g. Acrotritia ardua and Oppiella nova) were rare at the Ctr sites while stress-tolerant species (both, sexual and asexual, e.g. Protoribates capucinus, Punctoribates punctum, Ramusella clavi- pectinata, Tectocepheus velatus) were dominant. Pesticide application did not show any effect on oribatid mite community beyond the ploughing, whereas some species like P. capucinus, P. punctum, R. clavipectinata and T. velatus reached high abundances at PPL sites. Community structure of oribatid mites did not change significantly compared with Ctr sites, suggesting that the study area is inhabited by stress tolerant oribatid communities shaped by past agricultural disturbance. Introduction behind. Most of previous experimental studies investigating the effects of selected chemicals on oribatid communities show that Microarthropods are playing a primary role in soil processes such oribatid mites probably respond more adversely to mechanical as decomposition, nutrient cycling and soil formation and by that perturbations than to pesticide application (Cockfield and Potter they represent a significant part of the soil food web (Lavelle and 1983; Krogh 1991; Al-Assiuty and Khalil 1995; Schrader and Spain 2001; Coleman et al. 2004; Walter and Proctor 2013). Having Lingnau 1997; Cortet et al. 2002a, 2002b; Bedano et al. 2006; limited dispersal abilities (Lehmitz et al. 2011, 2012) soil micro- Adamsky et al. 2007, 2009; Anbarashan and Gopalswamy 2013; arthropods cannot easily escape from unfavourable conditions.

However, quently result in changes in soil food webs (Skubała 1997; different oribatid groups (for instance sexual vs parthenogenetic) Maraun et al. 1998; Skubała and Gulvik 2005; Andrès and may respond differently to agricultural practice. Indeed, since the Mateos 2006). This is especially problematic in arable lands sexually reproducing species more easily cope with adverse (or where permanent perturbations affect soil microarthropods changing) environmental conditions (Toman and Flegr 2017) the directly and indirectly. Mechanical disturbances (such as plough- changes of community structure might largely be due to parthe- ing, harrowing and trampling) as well as non-mechanical distur- nogenetic species. In addition, we notice a gradual impoverish- bances (including removal of plant material and chemical ment of mite communities (i.e. a decrease of species diversity and applications) affect soil organisms either directly by killing them, a change in species abundance distribution) after regular cultiva- or indirectly by diminishing their food resource and physiological tion and pesticide application. Though pesticide application resilience and reducing suitable space (Rodrigues et al. 2006). might not have a significant direct effect on mite communities However, the feedback and magnitude of soil microarthropods (Krogh 1991; Sterk et al. 1999; Cortet, Ronce et al. 2000; Frampton to all these factors separately and in combination can be taxon et al. 2006; Jänsch et al. 2006; Badji et al. 2007; Anbarashan and specific and temporarily non-consistent (Sánchez-Bayo 2011).

As different taxa of mites occupy systems can help to mitigate soil degradation and help sustain- different trophic levels (can be phytophagous, primary and sec- able agricultural development, there are still many questions left ondary decomposers, predators, scavengers and omnivores) unanswered with this respect.

The 242 new species are distributed unevenly among 50 families, with 62% of the total from the top 10 families. Geographically, these species are distributed unevenly among 39 countries. Most new species (72%) are from the top 10 countries, whereas 61% of the countries have only 1–3 new species each. Four of the top 10 countries are from Asia (Vietnam, China, India and The Philippines).

E-mails: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] * corresponding author ABSTRACT: This report concerns macro-remains of arthropods from Neogene sites in Alaska and northern Canada. New data from known or recently investigated localities are presented and comparisons made with faunas from equivalent latitudes in Asia and Greenland. Many of the Canadian sites belong to the Beaufort Formation, a prime source of late Tertiary plant and insect fossils. But new sites are continually being discovered and studied and among the most informative of these are several from the high terrace gravel on Ellesmere Island. One Ellesmere Island locality, known informally as the “Beaver Peat” contains spectacularly well preserved plant and arthropod fossils, and is the only Pliocene site in Arctic North America to yield a variety of vertebrate fossils. Like some of the other “keystone” localities discussed here, it promises to be important for dating and correlation as well as for documenting high Arctic climatic and environmental conditions during the Pliocene.

The world spider catalog, version 11.5 American Museum of Natural History, online at http://research.amnh.org/entomology/spiders/catalog/index.html Last udated: 10.12.2010 INTRODUCTION Fossil spiders have not been fully cataloged since Bonnet’s Bibliographia Araneorum and are not included in the current Catalog. Since Bonnet’s time there has been considerable progress in our understanding of the fossil record of spiders – and other arachnids – and numerous new taxa have been described. Spiders remain the single largest fossil group, but our aim here is to offer a summary list of all fossil Chelicerata in their current systematic position; as a first step towards the eventual goal of combining fossil and Recent data within a single arachnological resource. To integrate our data as smoothly as possible with standards used for living spiders, our list for Araneae follows the names and sequence of families adopted in the Platnick Catalog. For this reason some of the family groups proposed in Wunderlich’s (2004, 2008) monographs of amber and copal spiders are not reflected here, and we encourage the reader to consult these studies for details and alternative opinions. Extinct families have been inserted in the position which we hope best reflects their probable affinities.

The Hungarian acarological literature from 1801 to 2010, excluding medical sciences (e.g. epidemiological, clinical acarology) is reviewed. Altogether 1500 articles by 437 authors are included. The publications gathered are presented according to authors listed alphabetically. The layout follows the references of the paper of Horváth as appeared in the Folia entomologica hungarica in 2004. INTRODUCTION The primary aim of our compilation was to show all the (scientific) works of Hungarian aca- he acarological literature attached to Hungary rologists published in foreign languages. Thereby T and Hungarian acarologists may look back to many Hungarian papers, occasionally important a history of some 200 years which even with works (e.g. Balogh, 1954) would have gone un- European standards can be considered rich.
