Species composition and ecological peculiarities of mites of the superfamily Tetranychoidea (Acariformes, Trombidiformes) and family Phytoseiidae (Parasitiformes, Gamasina), inhabiting plants in botanical gardens of Kyiv (Ukraine).. Vestnik Zoologii, 41 (6): 521-534.

Abstract
15 species of 7 genera of tetranychoid mites and 26 species of 10 genera of phytoseiid mites were found on 190 species of the plants in two botanical gardens in Kyiv. The domination index, finding (or occurrence species) index and index of relative fidelity to plant are used to characterize complexes of mite species. Differences in microclimates of territory of botanical gardens, distinctions in species diversities and sample volumes, as well as in degree of recreation pressure and influence of urban habitat (dustiness of plants, pollution of the soil and air) cause differences in composition of mite species complexes of mite species
