Box 102, Hungary. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. From different localities of the Balkan Peninsula and the Carpathian Basin altogether 19 macrochelid mite species are listed belonging to the genera Geholaspis Berlese, 1918 (three species), Glyptholaspis Filipponi et Pegazzano, 1960 (one species), Longicheles Valle, 1953 (four species), Macrholaspis Oudemans, 1931 (one species), Macrocheles Latreille, 1829 (five species), Neopodocinum Oudemans, 1902 (two species) and Nothrholaspis Berlese, 1918 (three species). New country occurrences are also given for Croatia (three species), Hungary (three species), Macedonia (five species) Romania (five species) and Serbia (seven species). Keywords.

Die 50 Standorte wurden einmal im Frühjahr und einmal im Herbst mit vier unterschiedlichen Methoden beprobt. Dabei wurden sechs Arten aus drei Familien mit 307 Individuen gefunden. Der Vergleich der Pseudoskorpion-Fauna in den Kernzonen bzw. Wirtschaftswäldern zeigt kei- ne statistischen Unterschiede betreffend Artenzahl und Individuenzahl. Bei länge- rer Außernutzungstellung der Kernzonenflächen kann aber durchaus mit positiven Auswirkungen auf die Pseudoskorpion-Biozönosen gerechnet werden, alleine durch die gesteigerte Verfügbarkeit von Totholz. Abstract The pseudoscorpions of selected forest areas within the Biosphere Reserve Wienerwald From April 2012 to May 2013 pseudoscorpions were investigated in 33 forests in core areas (KZO) and in 17 managed forests (WW) of the Biosphere Reserve Wienerwald (BPWW). These 50 monitoring plots were examined once in spring and once in autumn with four different methods.

A total of 37 mite species was recovered from 11 of the 12 nests examined. The mite fauna was dominated by the family Macrochelidae. Macrocheles merdarius was the most abundant species, comprising 56% of all mites recovered. Most of the abundant mite species were associated with dung and coprophilous insects. It is likely that they were introduced into the nests by adult storks with dung as part of the nest material shortly before and after the hatching of the chicks.

SUTCLIFFE Trent University Biology Department, 1600 West Bank Drive, Peterborough ON, Canada K9J 7B8. 1Corresponding author. Phone: 705 652-7452; Email: [email protected] Abstract In south-central Ontario, the stable flies disperse from their overwintering farms and re-establish populations at neighbouring dairy and beef farms each spring. Two species of phoretic macrochelid mites commonly found on stable flies are Macrocheles muscaedomesticae and M. subbadius. We tested the hypothesis that mite phoresy affects the dispersal of their stable fly phorionts. At a beef farm we found a higher proportion of parous stable flies with mite scars than expected, based on the proportion of nulliparous females carrying mites. These results were consistent with our hypothesis, indicating that stable flies without mites may be emigrating more than flies carrying mites. We further tested our hypothesis by comparing the mite load on dispersing stable flies sampled with a vehicle-mounted truck trap to the mite load on resident stable flies sampled from three dairy farms and one beef farm (May to October, 2001). Significantly, no stable flies caught in the truck trap were carrying mites, compared to the seasonal means of 10% and 5% of female and male stable flies with mites at the four farms. This effect of mite phoresy on stable fly populations is discussed. Keywords: phoresy, dispersal, Macrocheles, mites, Stomoxys calcitrans, stable fly Introduction Dispersal is one of the most important aspects of any organism's success (Andrewartha & Birch 1954).

They mostly occur in ephemeral substrates such as animal dung and feed on nematodes and other small invertebrates and after decreasing quality of these habitats they transfer to new suitable habitats using phoretic association with flying hosts (Krantz 1998; Lindquist et al. 2009). The genus Macrocheles Latreille, 1829 comprises about 320 described species worldwide (Emberson 2010). Iranian mites of Macrochelidae are relatively poorly known. Kazemi and Rajaei (2013) listed 16 species of the genus Macrocheles which were reported from Iran: M. baliensis Takaku & Hartini, 2001, M. cristati Costa, 1967, M. glaber (Müller, 1860), M. insignitus (Berlese, 1981), M. matrius (Hull, 1925), M. merdarius (Berlese, 1889), M. muscaedomesticae (Scopoli, 1772), M. nataliae (Bergetova & Koroleva, 1960), M. penicilliger (Berlese, 1904), M. peniculatus Berlese, 1918, M.

  • (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), Nueva Plaga En Cítricos; Comportamiento De Sus Poblaciones, Muestreo Y Enemigos Naturales
    UNIVERSITAT POLITÈCNICA DE VALÈNCIA Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Agronómica y del Medio Natural Pezothrips kellyanus (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), nueva plaga en cítricos; comportamiento de sus poblaciones, muestreo y enemigos naturales TESIS DOCTORAL Presentada por: Cristina Navarro Campos Dirigida por: Dr. Ferran Garcia Marí Valencia, febrero, 2013 UNIVERSITAT POLITÈCNICA DE VALÈNCIA Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Agronómica y del Medio Natural Departamento de Ecosistemas Agroforestales Pezothrips kellyanus (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), nueva plaga en cítricos; comportamiento de sus poblaciones, muestreo y enemigos naturales TESIS DOCTORAL Presentada por: Cristina Navarro Campos Dirigida por: Dr. Ferran Garcia Marí Valencia, Febrero, 2013 A Concha, Víctor y Marieta. Bacterias, protistas, nematodos, ácaros y otras criaturas diminutas proliferan a nuestro alrededor, en una matriz animal que mantiene unida la superficie de la Tierra. Son materia de estudio y admiración potencialmente infinita, siempre que estemos dispuestos a apartar la mirada del mundo limitado por el horizonte, para fijarla en el mundo que tenemos a un palmo de distancia. Se puede pasar toda una vida en un viaje magallánico alrededor del tronco de un solo árbol. Edward O. Wilson “El Naturalista” Agradecimientos Mi primer agradecimiento es para Ferran, quien además de enseñarme durante el trabajo de investigación que lleva la tesis, también me ha contagiado su entusiasmo y su respecto por la ciencia. Su experiencia, paciencia, capacidad de trabajo y talento para ver más allá de los datos han sido importantes estímulos. Gracias Ferran!!! Han colaborado directamente en la realización de la tesis, y por tanto mi gran agradecimiento a: Amparo Aguilar, quien además de ello, alegraba el laboratorio día si día también, a Tolis quien sin ser codirector del trabajo ha actuado como tal, siempre dispuesto a ayudar y aportar otros puntos de vista.
