Systematic studi̇es on the speci̇es of neoli̇odi̇dae ve oppi̇i̇dae(acari: oribatida) in Istanbul

 Most of the oribatid mites are members of soil fauna. They are free liing organisms and none of them are parasite. The main roles of oribatid mites in soil are; mechanically breaking down organic materials and fragmentation, physical and chemical changes of organic substances by digestie function, production of fecal pellets which is an extremely productie enironment for root growth and seed germination and helping the distribution of bacteria and fungal spores and microfloral activity stimulation by carring them on their body surface and digestive system. Soil samples were taken from İstanbul province between date October 2014- March 2015. The Oribatid mites were storted out from the soil samples by appropriate methods and have been examined through light and electron microscopes.
