Abstract
During 2019-2021, in a faunistic survey of Phytoseiid mites in various habitate of Sistan and Baluchestan province, foliage and soil samples were taken by different methods (Berlese- Tulgrin funnel, beating sheet and washing) from crops, forest, orchards, ornamental plants and weeds and their biodiversity on vineyard and tamarix trees were studied. The slides of mites were made and identified. A total of twenty three species belonging to seven genera and three subfamily were collected and identified. Among them, all species were new record for Sistan and Baluchestan province mite fauna and one species was new record to science. Mite species are listed according to their subfamilies and genera as follows: Subfamily Amblyseiinae Muma, 1961: Amblyseius meridionalis Berlese, 1914; Amblyseius rademacheri Dosse, 1958; Amblyseius sp.; Transeius wainsteini (Gomelauri, 1968); Proprioseiopsis okanagensis (Chant, 1957); Proprioseiopsis messor (Wainstein, 1960); Neoseiulus barkeri Hughes, 1948; Neoseiulus bicaudus (Wainstein, 1962); Neoseiulus cucumeris (Oudemans, 1930); Neoseiulus marginatus (Wainstein, 1961); Neoseiulus paspalivorus (De leon, 1957); Neoseiulus zwoelferi (Dosse, 1957); Neoseiulus sugonjaevi (Wainstein & Abbosova, 1974) Neoseiulus brevispinus (Kennett, 1958); Neoseiulus agrestis (Karg, 1960); Neoseiulus tauricus (Livshitz & Kuznetsov, 1972); Neoseiulus sp.;Paragigagnathus sistaniensis Arjmandi Neghad et al., 2022*; Paragigagnathus tamaricis Amitai & Grinberg, 1971; Subfamily Phytoseiinae Berlese: Phytoseius finitimus (Ribaga, 1904); Subfamily Typhlodrominae Wainstein: Typhlodromus (Anthoseius) bakeri (Garman, 1948); Typhlodromus (Anthoseius) tamaricis (Kolodochka, 1982); Typhlodromus (Anthoseius) rodriguezi (Denmark & Daneshvar, 1982) Biodiversity indexes based on species richness were calculated using standard formulas and Ecological Methodology software. Data processing was performed using SAS software. The results of the study showed that in vineyard Neoseiulus barkeri (36%), Neoseiulus paspalivorua (17%) and Amblyseius rademacheri (16%), were the most abundant species, respectively. Paragigagnathus sistaniensis was the most aboundant species (77%) on tamarix trees. The analysis of variance indicated that the both factors of season and the interaction between season and habitat did not differ significantly, but the diversity indices of the two habitats (grape and tamarix) showed a significant difference. Accordingly, the vineyards had the highest species richness of Margalef (0.95) and Shannon-Wiener’s (1.70) and tamarix had the lowest species richness of Margalef (0.34%) and Shannon-Wiener’s (0.61%). Additionally, the results depicted a significant difference between the values of biodiversity indices in the three locality, so that the highest species richness and diversity index for the cities of Zahak (0.78 and 1.36), for Jazinak (0.76 and 0.33), and for the Nimrooz had the least variability (0.78), which result in the lowest rate of evenness index (0.70).
