    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Soil mite communities (Acari: Mesostigmata) as indicators of urban ecosystems in Bucharest, Romania M. Manu1,5*, R. I. Băncilă2,3,5, C. C. Bîrsan1, O. Mountford4 & M. Onete1 The aim of the present study was to establish the efect of management type and of environmental variables on the structure, abundance and species richness of soil mites (Acari: Mesostigmata) in twelve urban green areas in Bucharest-Romania. Three categories of ecosystem based upon management type were investigated: protected area, managed (metropolitan, municipal and district parks) and unmanaged urban areas. The environmental variables which were analysed were: soil and air temperature, soil moisture and atmospheric humidity, soil pH and soil penetration resistance. In June 2017, 480 soil samples were taken, using MacFadyen soil core. The same number of measures was made for quantifcation of environmental variables. Considering these, we observed that soil temperature, air temperature, air humidity and soil penetration resistance difered signifcantly between all three types of managed urban green area. All investigated environmental variables, especially soil pH, were signifcantly related to community assemblage. Analysing the entire Mesostigmata community, 68 species were identifed, with 790 individuals and 49 immatures. In order to highlight the response of the soil mite communities to the urban conditions, Shannon, dominance, equitability and soil maturity indices were quantifed. With one exception (numerical abundance), these indices recorded higher values in unmanaged green areas compared to managed ecosystems. The same trend was observed between diferent types of managed green areas, with metropolitan parks having a richer acarological fauna than the municipal or district parks.

Eight study sites were established along a transect from the fjord to the snout of the glacier. The sites differed from each other by the type of vegetation cover and soil characteristics. Soil samples were collected and placed in Tullgren funnels. Extracted arthropods were represented by two groups of mites (Mesostigmata and Oribatida) and springtails (Collembola). The pioneer species that occurred first after retreat of the glacier were representatives of the Collembola (Agrenia bidenticulata and Hypogastrura concolor).

  • Feeding Design in Free-Living Mesostigmatid Chelicerae
    Experimental and Applied Acarology (2021) 84:1–119 https://doi.org/10.1007/s10493-021-00612-8 REVIEW PAPER Feeding design in free‑living mesostigmatid chelicerae (Acari: Anactinotrichida) Clive E. Bowman1 Received: 4 April 2020 / Accepted: 25 March 2021 / Published online: 30 April 2021 © The Author(s) 2021 Abstract A model based upon mechanics is used in a re-analysis of historical acarine morphologi- cal work augmented by an extra seven zoophagous mesostigmatid species. This review shows that predatory mesostigmatids do have cheliceral designs with clear rational pur- poses. Almost invariably within an overall body size class, the switch in predatory style from a worm-like prey feeding (‘crushing/mashing’ kill) functional group to a micro- arthropod feeding (‘active prey cutting/slicing/slashing’ kill) functional group is matched by: an increased cheliceral reach, a bigger chelal gape, a larger morphologically estimated chelal crunch force, and a drop in the adductive lever arm velocity ratio of the chela. Small size matters. Several uropodines (Eviphis ostrinus, the omnivore Trachytes aegrota, Urodi- aspis tecta and, Uropoda orbicularis) have more elongate chelicerae (greater reach) than their chelal gape would suggest, even allowing for allometry across mesostigmatids. They may be: plesiosaur-like high-speed strikers of prey, scavenging carrion feeders (like long- necked vultures), probing/burrowing crevice feeders of cryptic nematodes, or small mor- sel/fragmentary food feeders. Some uropodoids have chelicerae and chelae which probably work like a construction-site mechanical excavator-digger with its small bucket. Possible hoeing/bulldozing, spore-cracking and tiny sabre-tooth cat-like striking actions are dis- cussed for others.

The genus Saprolaelaps Leitner, 1946 is closely related to the genus Halolaelaps (Berlese & Troues- sart, 1889). The difference in the two genera is markedly pronounced, above all in the number of setae on the genu III.

Promoter: Dr. David J. Marshall. Abstract Because of their recent terrestrial ancestry, secondary marine organisms usually differ from primary marine organisms in life history and physiological traits. Intuitively, the traits of secondary marine organisms constrain distribution, thus making these organisms interesting subjects for comparative investigation on ecological and biogeographical theory. A primary objective of the studies presented here was to improve our current knowledge and understanding of the generally poorly known secondary marine arthropods (e.g. mites and insects). An additional objective was to outline relationships between ancestry, ecology, and biogeography of small-bodied, benthic marine arthropods.

  • Fauna and Diversity of the Manure-Inhabiting Mesostigmata (Acari) in Kerman County, South Eastern Iran

Box: 76315-117; E-mail: [email protected] * Corresponding author Abstract A faunistic survey was carried out on the manure-inhabiting mesostigmatic mites in Kerman County, South Eastern Iran, during 2011–2012. In this research, 36 species belonging to 23 genera and 14 families were collected and identified of which Ameroseius pavidus (C.L. Koch) (Ameroseiidae) and Trachytes baloghi Hirschmann & Zirngiebl-Nicol (Trachytidae) are considered here as new records for Iran mite fauna. The Shannon-Wiener’s diversity index was also calculated for these mite communities within cow, poultry, and sheep manures in nine different districts of the County. Mite community within cow manures, with 31 species, was more diverse than poultry and sheep manures which had 14 and 13 species, respectively. The highest (2.2±0.07) and the lowest (0) mean values of diversity index were calculated for Sekonj and Langar districts, respectively. Based on relative frequency, Uroobovella marginata (C.L. Koch), U. difoveolata Hirschmann & Zirngiebl-Nicol, and Androlaelaps casalis (Berlese) were the most dominant species in cow, sheep, and poultry manures, respectively. On the other hand, Macrocheles merdarius (Berlese) and Androlaelaps casalis (Berlese) were the most widespread species.

    Of Dwarves and Giants How large herbivores shape arthropod communities on salt marshes Roel van Klink This PhD-project was carried out at the Community and Conservation Ecology group, which is part of the Centre for Ecological and Environmental Studies of the University of Groningen, The Netherlands. This project was funded by the Waddenfonds (Project WF200451) and carried out in cooperation with It Fryske Gea. The printing of this thesis was partially funded by the University of Groningen and the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Science.

Box 156, 9171 Longyearbyen, Norway * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 5 March 2020; Accepted: 1 April 2020; Published: 5 April 2020 Abstract: This study was carried out at Ny-Ålesund on Spitsbergen in Svalbard (High Arctic). Eight study sites were established along a transect from the fjord to the snout of the glacier. The sites differed from each other by the type of vegetation cover and soil characteristics. Soil samples were collected and placed in Tullgren funnels. Extracted arthropods were represented by two groups of mites (Mesostigmata and Oribatida) and springtails (Collembola).
