• Abstract

  Knowledge about the edaphic acarofauna in the different Brazilian biomes is incipient. Studies of this sort have just not been conducted in extensive areas of the country, especially in regard to mites from areas of agricultural interest, such as soybean, corn and sugarcane plantations. One of the most common groups of edaphic mites is the order Mesostigmata. These are known for their pot…

• XIV International Congress of Acarology, AR.EXT

• Abstract

  The main objective of the project to which this plan refers is the knowledge of the diversity of edaphic mites in areas of natural vegetation and areas of agroecosystems. However, this larger project also has as one of its objectives to detect predatory mites that can be used in practice as biological pest control agents. For this to be accomplished, it is necessary to establish colonies …

• Abstract

  An activity of extreme importance in this project refers to the preparation of the taxonomic keys by the "Lucid"® program, foreseen in the larger project in which this proposal fits. This is a time-consuming activity that requires the collaboration of a properly trained and qualified postdoctoral fellow. The present plan refers in large part to the identification of mites collected from s…

• Abstract

  The edaphic acarofauna is little known in the world, even in Brazil. Mesostigma are the second most abundant group of mites in the soil and may play an important role in the regulation of pests as predators. The objective of this work is to characterize the species present in different agricultural environments and in an area of natural vegetation of the Atlantic Forest biome using morpho…
