Specialization of oribatid mites to forest microhabitats—the enigmatic role of litter
Abstract The degree of ecological specialization influences the biological performance of species in their natural environment and affects the coexistence of different taxa. However, on a small scale, the diversity of microarthropods that coexist in forest soils and leaf litter seems inordinately hi...
