Studies on water mites’ parasitism on aquatic insects in Japan primarily began as studies of biological control against malaria (e.g., Miyazaki, 1933). Therefore, most studies on water mite parasitism in Japan focus on dipteran hosts (Yamada, 1918; Miyazaki, 1933, 1935, 1936, 1945, 1947; Uchida and Miyazaki, 1935; Imamura, 1950c, 1951b, 1951d, 1952a; Hirabayashi and Fukunaga, 2007). Studies on parasitism on other insect taxa are rather limited: Hemiptera (Masuda, 1934, 1942; Imamura, 1952b; Nagasawa et al., 2008; Morimoto, 2012; Abé et al., 2015, 2017), Coleoptera (Masuda, 1934, 1935a, 1935b, 1942), Odonata (Miyazaki, 1936; Imamura, 1950a, 1951a, 1951c; Imamura and Mitchell, 1967; Kobayashi and Toda, 2005), Trichoptera (Nagasawa and Abé, 2015), and Plecoptera (Imamura, 1950b; Nagasawa and Abé, 2015). Recently, the authors had an opportunity to examine several water mite larvae attached to adult caddisflies collected in Hokkaido, Niigata, and Yamanashi Prefectures. Accordingly, this paper aims to obtain knowledge concerning the host–parasite correspondence and parasitic nature between water mites and caddisflies in these three districts.","PeriodicalId":171325,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Acarological Society of Japan","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130258079","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we report the first record of the soil fauna community assembled in abandoned nests of the Japanese wood mouse species—Apodemus spp. Research was conducted at the Takizawa Research Forest of Iwate University, Morioka, Iwate, Japan (39°47′N, 141°09′E, approximately 200 m a.s.l.). The research site comprised a 0.54-ha plot (90 m × 60 m) that was established in the secondary forest where Quercus serrata was the dominant tree species (Shimada et al., 2015). Two mouse species, the large (A. speciosus) and small Japanese wood mice (A. argenteus), inhabited the research site. The former was much more abundant in population density than the latter (220.4 and 9.3 individuals/ha for A. speciosus and A. argenteus, respectively, in June 2020; T. Shimada, unpublished data). Thus, the nests we found were assumed to have been used mainly by A. speciosus, although the possibility of having been used by A. argenteus cannot be completely excluded. In June 2020, we investigated the soil mesofauna community of the abandoned mouse nests and compared it with the fauna community in the surrounding soils, which were used as controls in this study. We collected five nests and prepared 12 replications from the surrounding soil using soil cores of 100 cc. Based on hair and feces samples found in the nests, we determined that the nests had been used by wood mice in the nearest reproductive season (from mid-April to early May) or that before the nearest (October in the last year). These nests consisted of leaf litter and acorns collected by mice and were usually found beneath the coarse roots of trees. The collected mouse nests were nearly completely hidden in the soil and were randomly located throughout the plot (each point was approximately 10-20 m apart), but the control samples were collected from systematically determined soil points that were approximately 10–40 m apart. Soil fauna from the mouse nests and soil cores were extracted using a Tullgren funnel at 35°C for 10 days and sorted at the order or suborder level using a stereomicroscope. In case of mites, all astigmatids collected from the mouse nests were identified to the species level using a phase contrast microscope (400×), whereas the other mites","PeriodicalId":171325,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Acarological Society of Japan","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115286751","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nesting patterns and behaviour of spider mites are related to predator avoidance, but the study of their influence on predatory fauna has been limited to species of a few genera. The present study investigates the occurrence of predators of Schizotetranychus brevisetosus , which make web nests and attack some predators, on evergreen oak in Kochi Prefecture, Japan. Of the total individual predators observed (n = 129), the highest proportion (38%) consisted of rove beetles Holobus spp. (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae), which are nest intruders and prey on mites at all stages of development. The second most abundant predators (26%) were Anystis spp. (Acari: Anystidae), which capture mites outside the nest. The common predators Phytoseiidae spp. (Acari) accounted for only 15% and were mostly found in hibernation. Other predators were rare, except for egg-eating Agistemus spp. (Acari: Stigmaeidae) (13%). The findings suggest that web nests and anti-predatory behaviours may bias the predatory fauna toward species that can cope with these anti-predatory strategies.","PeriodicalId":171325,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Acarological Society of Japan","volume":"31 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120854050","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, most native populations of this species have declined, mainly because of hunting activities and environmental destruction, except for a small area in China (Li et al., 2009). In Japan, the crested ibis was categorized as “Extinct in the wild (EW)” on the Red List of the Ministry of the Environment, Japan (Ministry of the Environment, 2002), when their wild population vanished. “Midori” and “Kin”, the last two reared individuals in the Sado Japanese crested ibis conservation center in Japan, died in 1995 and 2003, respectively, resulting in the complete extinction of Japanese individuals (Nishiumi, 2009; Yamagishi, 2009). Since 1999, seven individuals were transported from Yang Xian, Shaanxi Province, China (Lan et al., 2019), in order to breed and re-introduce the crested ibis in Japan, because the Chinese population was thought to be closely related to the Japanese population based on the similarity of mitochondrial DNA (Yamamoto, 2007). The transported Chinese individuals were bred in cages on Sado Island, Japan, for reproduction. Since 2008, 327 individuals of the crested ibis, which were offspring of the Chinese individuals, were released on a natural field on Sado Island, which they colonized to maintain their population. Therefore, the crested ibis is currently categorized as “Critically Endangered (CR)”on the Red List in Japan (Ministry of the Environment, Japan, 2019a, 2019b).
