A Forest Pool as a Habitat Island for Mites in a Limestone Forest in Southern Norway
Seniczak, Anna; Seniczak, Stanisław; Graczyk, Radomir; Kaczmarek, Sławomir; Jordal, Bjarte Henry; Kowalski, Jaroslaw; Djursvoll, Per; Roth, Steffen; Bolger, Thomas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021-11-12)Forest water bodies, e.g., pools, constitute ‘environmental islands’ within forests, with specific flora and fauna thus contributing considerably to the landscape biodiversity. The mite communities of Oribatida and ... -
High Diversity of Mites (Acari: Oribatida, Mesostigmata) Supports the High Conservation Value of a Broadleaf Forest in Eastern Norway
Seniczak, Anna; Seniczak, Stanislaw; Stary, Josef; Kaczmarek, Slawomir; Jordal, Bjarte Henry; Kowalski, Jaroslaw; Roth, Steffen; Djursvoll, Per; Bolger, Thomas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Broadleaf forests are critical habitats for biodiversity and this biodiversity is in turn essential for their proper functioning. Mites (Acari) are a numerous and functionally essential component of these forests. We report ... -
Inclusion of juvenile stages improves diversity assessment and adds to our understanding of mite ecology – A case study from mires in Norway
Seniczak, Anna; Seniczak, Stanisław; Iturrondobeitia, J. Carlos; Marciniak, Martyna; Kaczmarek, Sławomir; Mąkol, Joanna; Kaźmierski, Andrzej; Zawal, Andrzej; Schwarzfeld, Marla D.; Flatberg, Kjell Ivar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Arachnid orders, Mesostigmata, Trombidiformes, and Sarcoptiformes, commonly known as ‘mites’, are abundant in mires, both as adults and as juveniles. However, due to the challenges of identification, the juvenile forms are ... -
Mites (Oribatida and Mesostigmata) and vegetation as complementary bioindicators in peatlands
Seniczak, Anna; Seniczak, Stanislaw; Iturrondobeitia, J. Carlos; Gwiazdowicz, Dariusz J.; Waldon-Rudzionek, Barbara; Flatberg, Kjell Ivar; Bolger, Thomas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Vegetation is widely used in the assessment of the quality of peatlands, while the invertebrate fauna of peatlands is relatively poorly studied. We compared the bioindicator values of vegetation with two arthropod groups ... -
Morphological ontogeny of Galumna flagellata Willmann (Acari: Oribatida: Galumnidae)
Seniczak, Anna; Seniczak, Stanislaw; Rodríguez-Fernández, Sofia; Fernandez Ondoño, Emilia (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The morphological ontogeny of Galumna flagellata Willmann, 1925 is described and illustrated. The juveniles of this species are light brown, with prodorsal setae of medium size or long and barbed, and bothridial seta ... -
Morphological Ontogeny, Ecology, and Biogeography of Fuscozetes fuscipes (Acari, Oribatida, Ceratozetidae)
Seniczak, Stanislaw; Seniczak, Anna; Jordal, Bjarte H. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)The systematic status of Fuscozetes Sellnick, 1928, is not clear in the literature. Therefore, the morphological ontogeny of F. fuscipes (C.L. Koch, 1844), the type species of this genus, was investigated and compared with ... -
A new species Zachvatkinibates svanhovdi sp. nov. (Acari: Oribatida: Punctoribatidae) from Norway with comments on Punctoribatidae in Fennoscandia
Seniczak, Anna; Seniczak, Stanisław; Hagen, Snorre; Klutsch, Cornelya (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The adults of the new species Zachvatkinibates svanhovdi A. Seniczak & S. Seniczak sp. nov. are described and illustrated from Norway, and this is the first finding of Zachvatkinibates Shaldybina, 1973 in Fennoscandia. ... -
Seasonal dynamics of mites (Acari) in pastures and meadows in Poland, with species analysis of Oribatida
Pacek, Sylwiusz; Seniczak, Stanislaw; Graczyk, Radomir; Chachaj, Boguslaw; Seniczak, Anna (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The study involved three pastures, grazed by geese, goats and fallow deer, and three nearby meadows (control plots) situated in north-central Poland. Samples of 150 cm3 each (6 cm of soil and 3 cm of lower parts of plants) ... -
Type of broadleaf forest matters most for ptyctimous mite communities (Acari, Oribatida) in Norway
Seniczak, Anna; Niedbała, Wojciech; Iturrondobeitia, J. Carlos; Seniczak, Stanislaw; Roth, Steffen; Jordal, Bjarte Henry (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)We studied ptyctimous moss mites, which are characteristic of forest habitats, in Norwegian broadleaf forests considered as biodiversity hotspot areas in Fennoscandia. The study aimed to evaluate the effect of different ...
