Акарофауна жилых застроек и открытых участков в условиях города

Abstract

В статье говорится об изучении видового состава, структуры акарофауны в почвах озелененных участков и жилых застроек города Витебска. Обследованы почвы в 10 зеленых зонах города. Сбор проб домашней пыли был осуществлен в 150 жилых помещениях. На основании полученных данных была дана сравнительная характеристика представителей когорты Gamasina, обитающих в почве и жилых помещениях. Сравнение гамазовых комплексов позволило выявить в обоих местообитаниях представителей семейства Laelaptidae. = Mites constitute the most various group of animals and their study is of undoubted interest. The structure of acarofauna of cities is diverse. It is conditioned by the fact that mites are found both on open sites, soil in particular, and inside houses. Special interest is caused by the comparison of acarocomplexes of green areas and houses in cities. The aim of the present investigation is to study the species composition, the structure of mites, which live in the soils of the open landscaped and housing areas in Vitebsk. Material and methods. The study of soil mites was done in ten green zones in the city. Samples of dust were collected in 150 dwelling houses. Findings and their discussion. Basing on the obtained data we gave the comparative characteristic of the specimens of the cohort of Gamasina, which live in soil and dwelling houses. The comparison of the gamasid assemblages allowed us to reveal the specimens of the family of Laelaptidae in both habitats. Conclusion. In dwelling houses we found only one species (Laelaps domestica) of the family of Laelaptidae. In the urban soils we found 3 species of this family: Hypoaspis (Geolaelaps) aculeifer (Canest., 1883); H. (G.) praesternalis Willm., 1949; Laelaspis markewitschi Pirianyk, 1959. For the first time for the territory of Belarus we recorded 4 species of the mesostigmatic mites.
