Oribatida - Wikipedia
Oribatida (formerly Cryptostigmata), also known as oribatid mites, moss mites or beetle mites, [1] are an order of mites, in the "chewing Acariformes" clade Sarcoptiformes. They range in size from 0.2 to 1.4 millimetres (0.008 to 0.055 in). [1]
Taxonomy and ecology of the Arctic oribatid mite - Biotaxa
Jan 19, 2022 · We summarize data on distribution and habitat preferences of S. lucens in the Arctic. The frequent occurrence of S. lucens in Pleistocene deposits and its strong dependence on moisture make this species a reliable “type fossil” in paleoclimatic reconstructions.

Dispersal patterns of oribatid mites across habitats and seasons
Jan 17, 2022 · Oribatid mites are tiny arthropods that are common in all soils of the world; however, they also occur in microhabitats above the soil such as lichens, mosses, on the bark of trees and in suspended soils. For understanding oribatid mite community structure, it is important to know whether they are dispersal limited.
