“…The reserve protects a large forest dominated by European beech, covering 336 hectares at the southern limit of distribution of the species (Garrigue et al 2008). The forest has evolved naturally for over 150 years and the reserve is one of the best inventoried protected areas in Europe (Garrigue 2016).…”

We report the results of a faunistic survey focused on freshwater and limno-terrestrial meiofauna to improve biodiversity knowledge in a protected area in the Eastern part of the French Pyrénées: the Massane Forest Reserve (336 ha). The survey provided 1187 occurrence records from 315 taxa (most resolved at species level), uploaded as a shared online dataset and made freely available in the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF). The highest number of occurrences and distinguishable species belong to Nematoda (775 occurrences, 172 taxa), followed by Rotifera (219 occurrences, 67 taxa), Platyhelminthes (85 occurrences, 32 taxa), Tardigrada (69 occurrences, 25 taxa), and Gastrotricha (39 occurrences, 19 taxa). A diversity of meiofaunal organisms was found, in large numbers, in all the screened samples: from stream biofilms and sediments to forest floor soils, mosses, and litter, to a broad range of tree-related micro-habitats associated with beech epixylic mosses and lichens, tree cavities, woodpecker breeding holes, bark pockets and fruiting bodies of saproxylic fungi. This survey makes the Massane forest one of the few protected areas of the world with an all-taxa biodiversity inventory including meiofaunal groups, which could serve as a standard to further consider those cryptic groups of tiny animals in forest conservation efforts.

“…1), covers 3.36 km 2 and extends from Mediterranean forest and matorral at lower altitudes to a relict beech forest at middle altitudes and grasslands above 950 m above sea level (a.s.l.). Protected since 1954 and registered "Nature Reserve" in 1973, the reserve has not been affected by any direct management or large disturbance (Garrigue andMagdalou, 2000; Travé, 2000). As a consequence, the Massane forest is considered as one of the last 40 old forests of the Mediterranean basin (Quézel & Médail, 2003).…”

Spider mites (Acariformes, Tetranychidae) of the Massane Nature Reserve (France)

We present results of the inventory of the spider mites of the Massane Forest Nature Reserve made during several field samplings from 2013 to 2017. Nineteen species have been recorded, which represents more than one third of the known spider mite fauna in France. Among them, three new species were disclosed and are described: Bryobia (Bryobia) alberensis sp. nov. collected on Phyteuma spicatum and Helichrysum stoechas, B. (Periplanobia) polymorpha sp. nov. on Genista pilosa and Tetranychus visigothus sp. nov., on Eryngium campestre, respectively. In addition, three spider mite species, Bryobia (Periplanobia) serifiotica, Eotetranychus aurantii and Eotetranychus fagi are recorded from France for the first time and three plant species are recorded as new host plants for tetranychid mites. The species delineation of B. (P.) polymorpha sp. nov., that presented large variation in dorsal setae length and shape, was investigated using a combination of morphological and molecular data. This approach allowed us to conclude that, despite such variations in a morphological key character, all the specimens observed belong to the same species.
