Stable isotopes revisited: Their use and limits for oribatid mite trophic ecology (2011, background): “(2) There is very little overlap in the species composition of oribatid mites between temperate and tropical regions (Maraun et al., 2007), implying that despite their small size not every mite is everywhere (cf.”
PAPER Community assembly processes shape an altitudinal gradient of forest biodiversity (2013, background): “Although the dispersal of the oribatids is passive, they can be moved from site to site (e.g. by the wind; Maraun et al., 2007; Lehmitz et al., 2011).”
Global decomposition experiment shows soil animal impacts on decomposition are climate-dependent (2008, background): “…correlation between diversity and the product of temperature and water availability (Coûteaux et al., 1995; De Deyn & Van der Putten, 2005), though Maraun et al. (2007) have offered oribatid mites, one of the most abundant and species-rich groups of soil mesofauna, as an exception to this rule.”
