Abstract

This work presents the results of long-term complex study of acaridid mites’ fauna and ecology in different biotopes (agricultural and industrial objects) in Zhytomyr Polissia. There were 30 species identified, which belong to five families: Suidasidae, Acaridae, Glycyphagidae, Chortoglyphidae, Aeroglyphidae. The results showed that acarocomplex of industrial objects, like mills, granaries and warehouses, includes the 11 Acaridae species, and that of compound fodder factories — three species. Acarofauna of agricultural objects was shown to consist of 30 species: 21 in barns with animal feed (grains, compound feeds, hay and straw), 12 in outbuildings with livestock and poultry, 9 in beehives, 13 in vegetable storages. The qualitative differences of mentioned acarocomplexes were established, and the factors to possibly influence their dynamics were discussed.
