我们研究了中气门螨与同域种埋葬甲虫的宿主特异性。使用现场收集，我们建立了附着模式，流行率和强度的螨phoretic的甲虫，并测试主机特定的差异。此外，为了测试螨是否已经建立了永久的协会，并在甲虫的孵化室繁殖，我们进行了繁殖实验。这些甲虫携带7种中气门螨的扩散阶段，分属4个属：Poecilochirus（寄生虫科），Macrocheles（Macrochelidae），Neoseius（Uropodina）和Alliphis（Eviphididae）。一般来说，只有一个发展阶段的每种螨是泳，但也有例外。结果表明，除M. merdarius已经与甲虫建立了密切的联系，因为它们附着在甲虫的特定位置，达到极高的流行值，并且即使在Nicrophorus属中也是宿主特异性的。我们的布里。。
We examined the host specificity of mesostigmatic mites associated with sympatric species of burying beetles. Using field collections we established attachment patterns, prevalence and intensity of the mites phoretic on the beetles, and tested for host-specific differences. Further, to test whether the mites have established permanent associations and reproduce in the brood chamber of the beetles, we performed breeding experiments. The beetles carried the dispersal stages of seven mesostigmatic mite species, belonging to four genera: Poecilochirus (Parasitidae), Macrocheles (Macrochelidae), Neoseius (Uropodina) and Alliphis (Eviphididae). Generally, only one developmental stage of each mite species was phoretic, but exceptions occurred. The data suggest that all mite species except M. merdarius have established close associations with the beetles because they attach to specific locations on the beetle, reach extremely high prevalence values and are host-specific even within the genus Nicrophorus.
