Summer 2009 Newsletter forest animal? An oribatid mite. This and over 100 other species, very distantly related to ticks, are herbivores, slowly but steadily consuming the dead and decaying leaves on the forest floor. There may be several dozen different oribatid species and hundreds of individuals in a single handful of leaf litter. Without them, mineral cycling in forests would slow way down!
