Abstract

The importance of oribatid mites in soil ecosystem for biodegradation of plant litter to increase soil fertility and crop development is a known fact. However, biodegradation of woody plant materials  appears to be a difficult task to most mites. This study concentrated on the developmental biology of a mite which prefers plant material of woody nature.
