Keywords: the mite fauna of three corticolous communities (Evernia prunastri on Populus; E. prunastri, and Ramalina farinacea on Fraxinus) were studied. The results suggest the importance of the three communities on mite distribution and community structure. Moreover, these communities seem quite different from those observed on crustose lichens. A list of mite species in the communities is given.
