The most numerous species were: Lebertiainsignis, Hygrobatescalliger, Limnesiaundulata, Hydrodromadespiciensand Sperchonclupeifer. The most frequently occurring species, both in samples and in sites, was Hydrachnaglobosa. 34 species were found in the Neman River, 36 in small tributaries, 68 in large tributaries, 77 in oxbow lakes and 15 in temporary reservoirs. It is believed that the abundance and species diversity of water mites in the Neman River is low because of the low pH value of the water. The water mites are concentrated in the Neman tributaries and oxbow lakes.}, title={Water mites (Hydrachnidia) from the Neman River (Belarus), some of its tributaries and riverine reservoirs}, type={Text}, keywords={Neman River basin, Belarus, Hydrachnidia, rare animals, new taxa to the Belarusian fauna, Arachnida, arachnids, acarines, mites and ticks, Acarina, Acari, water mites, Hydrachnellae, Hydracarina, zoocenosis}, }
