Seasonal Variation Outweighs Spatial Variation in Lotic Water Mite Communities in a Mediterranean Mountain
Water mites (Hydrachnidia) are diverse, ecologically important arachnids that can serve as effective bioindicators; however, their communities in Mediterranean mountain rivers are scarcely documented. The present study provides a comprehensive analysis of water mite communities in mountain rivers of Serra da Estrela (Portugal), assessing how abundance, genus richness, and community composition vary across seasons, among rivers, and along an elevational gradient. Water mites were sampled in twelve...
