Sex ratios of oribatid mite assemblages differ among microhabitats
This study investigates sex ratios of oribatid mite species and oribatid mite assemblages in different forest microhabitats (dead wood, grass sod, moss, lichen litter, tree bark) to identify possible factors driving sex ratio dynamics. We considered 46,320 individuals belonging to 47 species, and an...
