Quantitative assessment of the dispersal of soil-dwelling oribatid mites via rodents in restored heathlands
<p><span>1. </span><span>Heathland restoration using topsoil removal requires the re-</span><span>colonisation</span><span> of above- and belowground communities. Oribatid mites play a key role </span><span>in the comminution of organic matter and are frequently early colonizers during succession despite their limited mobility. Whereas the assembly of their communities may take decades, passive dispersal likely dominates </span><span>colonisation</span><span> processes, but especially dispersal via other animals (phoresy) remains poorly studied. Compared to other potential hosts, movement habits and ecology of small rodents may provide dispersal advantages to oribatid communities.</span></p> <p><span>2. </span><span>We studied dispersal of oribatid mites via </span><span>small rodents </span><span>in restored heathland sites of different age</span><span>. </span><span>We measured movement patterns of small rodents and extracted mites from their pelts and nests </span><span>to </span><span>estimate annual contributions of these rodents to the dispersal of oribatids. We also discussed phoretic estimates reported on other host groups as a reference. </span></p> <p><span>3. </span><span>Probability estimates of oribatids in pelts and nests showed lower occurrence frequencies compared to other reported phoretic hosts. However, local rodent communities may aid the dispersal of up to 41,000 oribatid mites per year. We highlight the high diversity of oribatid species mounting rodents, unlike strong species-specific filters reported in other passive pathways. We found that over half (58%) of the oribatid species reproduced asexually and over a third (34%) had a soil-dwelling lifestyle. We also observed that rodents often travel short distances below 40m, but occasionally reach distances of up to 100m, especially in</span><span> earlier successional stages. </span></p> <p><span>4. </span><span>Synthesis and applications. </span><span>Our results suggest that rodents may contribute to assembly processes of soil-dwelling oribatid communities given the slow turnover rate of this group in heathlands. This is accomplished through short-distance dispersal, and especially in sites at early stages of succession. To our knowledge, we are the first to quantitatively assess the potential dispersal of oribatid mites via rodents. </span></p>
