Approbation of the software complex "Biodiversity of Ukraine" on the example of oribatid
mites (Аcari: Оribatida) of Transcarpathia
The paper considers some features of the web resource "Biodiversity of Ukraine" for the analysis
of collections and literature data on the example of oribatid mites of Transcarpathia. Possibilities are
investigated for analysis of the spatial distribution of oribatids in terms of georegions of the study area.
Their faunal similarity was determined using the Sorensen and Jaccard indexes integrated into the web
resource. The territorys have been identified, which are promising for further studies of the fauna and
ecology of oribatid mites. The purpose of our work was to test some features of the web resource
"Biodiversity of Ukraine" on the example of Transcarpathian oribatids. This approach for the analysis
of the diversity of oribatid mites was made for the first time. 273 records representing 129 species of
oribatid mites were made for the Transcarpathian lowland. 154 records for 98 species were made for
the Vulkanichno-intermountaindells oblast. 507 records for 183 species of oribatids were integrated
for Polonynsko-Chornohirska region. 42 finds of 37 species were made for the Marmarosh massive.
114 records of 96 species of oribatids were integrated for the Transcarpathian part of Gorgany
massive. It is established that a number of mountain massifs remain completely unexplored in terms of
oribatids: Vyhorlat-Hutynskyi, Velykyi Dil, Tupyi and Verkhovynskyi. The latter remains unexplored
not only within Transcarpathia but within the entire Verkhovynskyi Watershed range. All these areas
are promising in the study of not only taxonomic diversity, but also the ecological characteristics of
oribatid mites. The indicators of Sorensen and Jaccard indexes were counted. The value of these
indicators depends on the ecological conditions of specific georegions and the degree of studien for
oribatid mites. The perspective expediency of using the web-resource "Biodiversity of Ukraine" for
comparison of fauna of oribatid mites of different georegions is established. After the integration of
more complete information about oribatid mites into the database of the web resource "Biodiversity of
Ukraine" it will be expedient to make a faunal comparison of georegions not only of Transcarpathia
but also of other territories. The work was performed within the scientific theme: "Estimation of the
biotic diversity of model groups of Arthropoda of the Ukrainian Carpathians with the use of modern
information technology" (0120U101162).
Key words: oribatid mites, georegion, faunal similarity, information technologies.
