Observational study details the reproductive structures and species diversity of mites in Bayburt, suggesting insights into their ecological roles.
This paper reports on mites of the family Macrochelidae that were collected between 2013 and 2015 in Bayburt province of Türkiye. A total of 13 species belonging to seven genera—Glyptholaspis, Holostaspella, Longicheles, Macrholaspis, Macrocheles, Neopodocinium and Nothrholaspis—were collected. In this study, the spermathecal structures of Longicheles ozkani are described for the first time, and the presence of a developing larva in two females of Macrholaspis recki indicates larviparity or ovoviviparity. Furthermore, DIC (Differential Interference Contrast) images of all developmental stages of Neopodocinium meridionalis, except for the larval stage and eggs, are presented.
