“…Successional changes with respect to both the identity and the number of taxa can also be related to the development of a vertical soil profile. In a study of secondary succession of wheat fields into beech wood, Scheu and Schulz (1996) for instance showed that in early successional stages oribatids predominantly colonized the litter layer, while in more developed beech woods the upper mineral soil was also colonized and actually more taxa were present in this soil layer. Finally, the stabilization of the taxon richness in combination with a continued succession in species composition may indicate that some mites species remain present in very low numbers in arable land, and increase in numbers when biotic and abiotic circumstances in grassland at different stages of succession have become favorable.…”

“…However, the species of genera Punctoribates and Minunthosetes increased their quantity in urban sites. These genera are usually disturbance resistant and are often found in urban and agricultural systems with high density (Maraun, Scheu, 2000;Maraun et al, 2003;Scheu, Schulz, 1996) which presumable is due to high fecundity and fast development during recolonisation of disturbed habitats (Maraun, Scheu, 2000).…”

“…Parthenogenesis is relatively common in soil microarthropods (Chahartaghi et al 2006;Domes et al 2007a) and parthenogenetic species show wide range of life-history traits. They can be fast colonisers and disturbance tolerant species (Lindberg & Bengtsson 2005;Maraun & Scheu 2000;Scheu & Schulz 1996) as well as euedaphic, smallsize and vulnerable species (Maraun & Scheu 2000).…”
