对波兰波兹南附近的白色鹳Ciconia ciconia巢中的Mesostiginata的区系进行了研究。从12个巢中的11个巢中回收了37种螨。螨类区系以大螯螨科（Macrochelidae）为主。Macrocheles merdarius是最丰富的物种，包括56%的所有螨回收。大多数丰富的螨种与粪便和粪生昆虫有关。它们很可能是在雏鸟孵化前后不久，由成年鹳用粪便作为巢材的一部分引入巢中的。
The fauna of Mesostiginata in nests of the white stork Ciconia ciconia was studied in the vicinity of Poznan (Poland). A total of 37 mite species was recovered from 11 of the 12 nests examined. The mite fauna was dominated by the family Macrochelidae. Macrocheles merdarius was the most abundant species, comprising 56% of all mites recovered. Most of the abundant mite species were associated with dung and coprophilous insects. It is likely that they were introduced into the nests by adult storks with dung as part of the nest material shortly before and after the hatching of the chicks.
