FIGURE 5. Frequency of occurrence of total mites and of Crotonioidea in terrestrial and corticolous habitats according to different sampling methods deployed during the Tasmanian Rainforest Biodiversity Survey (Coy et al. 1993). N = 224 samples. Mixed (n = 39) includes samples from Tullgren funnel extractions of moss from unspecified habitats (presumably corticolous, terricolous and saxicolous) and hand collection (from litter, under logs and stones and in low vegetation, but not differentiated). Terrestrial samples (n = 88) were collected by Tullgren funnel extraction of leaf litter and terricolous/saxicolous moss, soil cores, pitfall traps and suction sampling. Corticolous samples (n = 97) were taken by sweeping and beating, Tullgren funnel extraction of corticolous moss and pyrethrin knockdown of tree trunks.
