ORIBATID ASSEMBLIES OF TROPICAL HIGH MOUNTAINS ON SOME POINTS OF THE "GONDWANA-BRIDGE" - A CASE STUDY

This work is the first part of a series of studies, which introduces the methodological possibilities of coenological and zoogeographical indication and - following the climate, vegetation and elevation zones - the pattern-describing analysis of the main Oribatid sinusia of the world explored till our days.This current work is a case-study, which displays the comparison of 9 examination sites from 3 different geographical locations. On each location, three vegetation types have been examined: a plain rain-forest, a mossforest and a mountainous paramo. Analyses are based on the hitherto non-published genus-level database and coenological tables of the deceased Janos Balogh professor. Occurrence of 18 genera is going to be published as new data for the given zoogeographical region.
