Gamasid mites (Parasitiformes, Mesostigmata) in nests of passerine birds on the Arctic Seven Islands Archipelago, the Barents Sea
Tóm tắt
Examination of 31 nests of 6 common passerine bird species collected on the Seven Islands Archipelago (the Barents Sea) revealed 25 species of gamasid mites. Most of them belonged to the widespread free-living species commonly occurring in the neighboring taiga and southern tundra areas. There were practically no true Arctic forms among the gamasids found; by contrast, the local flora consisted almost by half of Arctic and Hypoarctic species. The findings of only one species, Neoseiulus cf. tobon, appear to be restricted to the Arctic, while the range of the rare parthenogenetic Iphidinychus gaieri may be restricted to Hypoarctic and mountainous regions of Eurasia. No bird parasites were recorded. Host specificity of the mite assemblages of the nests was not observed.
