Title Of Article :
Systematic and ecological investigations on Zygoribatula Berlese, 1916 and Eupelops Ewing, 1917 species (Oribatida: Oribatulidae Phenopelopidae) from Yozgat Pine Grove National Park
Abstract :
Four species belonging to the genera Zygoribatula Berlese, 1916 and Eupelops Ewing, 1917 were determined from the sorted oribatid mites of soil, litter, bark, moss and lichen samples collected from Yozgat Pine Grove National Park between May 2005 and May 2007. These species were Zygoribatula cognata (Oudemans, 1902), Z. exilis (Nicolet, 1855), Eupelops nepotulus (Berlese, 1916) and E. acromios (Hermann, 1804). They were also evaluated ecologically based on species frequency, species association and seasonal distribution. According to the results obtained from the investigation area, the species Z. exilis and E. acromios are referred as “rare species”, the species Z. cognata is referred as a “common species” and the species E. nepotulus is referred as a “scarce species”.
