“…A queda de folhas de plantas nesta época do ano é comum em Piracicaba, em função das condições climáticas predominantes. Ácaros pertencentes à família Tetranychidae são pouco comuns em solo e folhedo, contudo há poucos (Price 1973, Philips 1990). As demais famílias são compostas por espécies de hábitos alimentares variados (Ereynetidae, Tarsonemidae, Pygmephoridae e Tydeidae) ou pouco conhecidos (Nanorchestidae, Pachygnathidae e Eupodidae).…”

“…As populações de ácaros da subordem Acaridida são muito baixas em florestas decíduas (Price 1973). Em florestas tropicais, Van Den Berg & Ryke (1967) também observaram pequenas quantidades de ácaros dessa subordem, em que se assemelham os resultados obtidos neste estudo.…”

“…Os ácaros da subordem Acaridida são pouco comuns ou ausentes no solo (Price 1973, Van Den Berg & Ryke 1967, Philips 1990), mas em alguns locais podem ocorrer em altas densidades (Price 1973). Nesta subordem encontram-se as famílias que contêm as principais espécies de ácaros pragas de produtos armazenados, como Acaridae, Histiostomatidae, Ebertiidae, Winterschmidtiidae (Flechtmann 1968(Flechtmann , 1979(Flechtmann , 1986Reis & Paschoal 1968;Krantz 1978).…”

-The objective of this work was to identify the edaphic mites of the suborders Actinedida and Acaridida collected on the campus "Luiz de Queiroz", University of São Paulo. Soil samples were taken from three different environments, i.e., a residual secondary forest, a perennial crop represented by a rubber tree plantation (Hevea brasiliensis Müll. Arg.), clone RRIM 600, and an area of annual crops (corn followed by beans). Litter samples were taken only from the secondary forest and the rubber tree plantation. Mites were extracted using a modified Berlese-Tullgren apparatus. A total of 32 species belonging to 22 genera of 14 families of the suborder Actinedida was found in soil and litter. Eupodidae mites were the most numerous in both substrates in the three environments. Eupodes sp.2 (Eupodidae) was the most numerous species. A total of seven species belonging to six genera of four families of the suborder Acaridida was found. Acaridae was the most numerous family in this suborder in both soil and litter of all three environments, with a predominance of a species of Tyrophagus.

“…Geralmente os ácaros mais abundantes em solos de florestas de regiões de clima temperado pertencem ao gênero Rhodacarus (Evans et al 1968, Wallwork 1970, Price 1973, Evans & Till 1979, Coleman & Crossley Jr. 1996. Na África do Sul, os ácaros mais abundantes pertencem aos gêneros Gamasellus e Rhodacarellus (Van Den Berg & Ryke 1967).…”

-The objectives of this work were to identify the edaphic mites collected in Piracicaba, State of São Paulo, and to determine the specific predominance in each of the environments studied. Soil samples were collected in three different environments, namely in an area of secondary forest, an area of perennial crops, represented by a rubber tree plantation (Hevea brasiliensis Müll. Arg.), clone RRIM 600 and an area of annual crops (corn followed by bean). Litter samples were collected in the patch of secondary forest and the rubber tree plantation. The edaphic mites were extracted through a modification of the Berlese-Tullgren method. A total of 49 species in 30 genera of Gamasida were identified in the soil and litter substrata. In the soil, the most abundant species in the secondary forest were Ologamasus sp. 1 (Ologamasidae) and Cosmolaelaps sp. 1 (Laelapidae). In the rubber tree plantation, Vulgarogamasus sp. (Parasitidae) and Cosmolaelaps sp. 2 (Laelapidae) were the most abundant species. In the area of annual crops, Protogamasellus mica (Athias-Henriot) (Ascidae) was by far the dominant species. In the litter, the most abundant species in the secondary forest were Ologamasus sp. 1 and Ologamasus sp. 2 (Ologamasidae), Podocinum sagax Berlese (Podocinidae) and Cosmolaelaps sp. 1 (Laelapidae), while in the rubber tree plantation the dominant species were Cosmolaelaps sp. 2 (Laelapidae) and Amblyseius hexadens Karg (Phytoseiidae).

“…Rhodacaroids have been reported to inhabit deep soil layers (Krantz 1978) even in soils with low organic matter contents (Koehler 1991(Koehler , 1997. Similarly, rhodacarids have been found in much larger numbers than ologamasids in temperate forest soils (Van den Berg & Ryke 1967, Evans et al 1968, Price 1973, Crossley Jr. et al 1992, Coleman & Crossley Jr. 1996, Barendse et al 2002. However, Smith et al (1998) reported a slightly higher number of ologamasid than of rhodacarid mites in the Montane Cordillera Ecozone of Canada.…”
