New data on Trombidia (Acari: Prostigmata: Parasitengona) in protected areas in Lubuskie Province (Western Poland)
Journal Title: Acta Biologica - Year 2015, Vol 22, Issue 846
Abstract
The state of knowledge on the mites of terrestrial Parasitengona (= Trombidia) in the western part of Poland is very poor. In particular, there is no precise data on the occurrence of these mites in the protected areas. The present work is a faunistic review of Trombidia in the selected protected areas in Lubuskie Province, Poland. The study was carried out in several nature reserves, ecological sites, a landscape park, and in the area NATURA 2000. 21 species represented by active postlarval instars are reported: one species of the superfamily Calyptostomatoidea, eight species of Erythraeoidea, and 12 species of Trombidioidea. The analysis of the results indicated the necessity of further extended research to supplement the knowledge on the biodiversity of the Lubuskie Province, especially in the context of changes in the ecosystems.
