| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study has been advanced also to the study of management practices as a model to consider the taxonomic measures. The suborder Oribatida, preparations specimens are deposited as the type specimen, however, some of preparations specimen is degraded.
First of all, we made a database to organize the collection. Then, we supplemented the collection with topotype. Finally, we have established a management system arranged for DNA extraction as possible future application. For providing topotype, soil samples were re-collected from all over Japan. The recorded species from Japan was re-studied, and our revision was published included about 750oribatid species from the soil habitat. The revision has pictorial keys for beginners. Based on these new oribatid specimens, we started describing new species. Furthermore, we accumulated about a hundred DNA sequence data of multiple loci included COI for DNA barcode.
