“…Passive dispersal by wind is common for plant seeds, but also for wingless arthropods such as immature Lepidoptera, mites and spiders (Washburn and Washburn 1984 ), that may travel a few hundred meters to tens or even hundreds of kilometers by wind (Reynolds et al 2007 ). Active and passive dispersal may also co-occur if animals like mites and spiders actively take postures or seek out exposed sites, which makes them carried away easily by wind (Washburn and Washburn 1984 ; Monteiro et al 2018 ). Another interaction of active and passive dispersal is phoresy in which an animal (the phoront) actively attaches itself onto a host animal for the purpose of dispersal, enabling it to migrate to new habitats (White et al 2017 ).…”

Dispersal patterns of oribatid mites across habitats and seasons

Oribatid mites are tiny arthropods that are common in all soils of the world; however, they also occur in microhabitats above the soil such as lichens, mosses, on the bark of trees and in suspended soils. For understanding oribatid mite community structure, it is important to know whether they are dispersal limited. The aim of this study was to investigate the importance of oribatid mite dispersal using Malaise traps to exclude sole passive wind-dispersal. Oribatid mite communities were collected over a 3-year period from five habitat types (coniferous forests, deciduous forests, mixed forests, meadows, bog/heathlands sites) and three seasons (spring, summer, autumn) in Sweden. Mites entered traps either by walking or by phoresy, i.e., by being attached to flying insects. We hypothesized (1) that oribatid mite communities in the traps differ between habitats, indicating habitat-limited dispersal, and (2) that oribatid mite communities differ among seasons suggesting that dispersal varies due to changing environmental conditions such as moisture or resource availability. The majority of the collected species were not typically soil-living species but rather from habitats such as trees, lichens and mosses (e.g., Carabodes labyrinthicus, Cymbaeremaeus cymba, Diapterobates humeralis and Phauloppia lucorum) indicating that walking into the traps or entering them via phoresy are of greater importance for aboveground than for soil-living species. Overall, oribatid mite communities collected in the traps likely originated from the surrounding local habitat suggesting that long distance dispersal of oribatid mites is scarce. Significant differences among seasons indicate higher dispersal during warm and dry periods of the year. Notably, 16 species of oribatid mites collected in our study were sampled for the first time in Sweden. This study also demonstrates that Malaise traps are a meaningful tool to investigate spatial and temporal patterns of oribatid mite communities.

Highlights New approaches have been proposed in the evaluation of pesticide selectivity towards natural enemies, in particular predatory mites. Predatory mites (i.e. phytoseiids) can become resistant to pesticides by mainly detoxification but also target-site mutations. Some recently developed acaricides show natural differential affinity for the target-site between spider mites and phytoseiids. Pesticide-free refuges and pesticide-treated nets increase the compatibility of pesticides with phytoseiids. Providing alternative foods can reduce the impact of pesticides on phytoseiids.
