Effects of green algae and napa cabbage on life-history parameters and gut microflora of Archegozetes longisetosus (Acari: Oribatida) under laboratory conditions

We compared the effect of green algae (dominated by Protococcus sp.) and the earlier studied napa cabbage on the life-history parameters and gut microflora of the oribatid mite Archegozetes longisetosus (a chelicerate model organism). Napa cabbage contained more crude ash, protein, and crude fibre t...
