Zoogeographical division of Vietnam based on the oribatid mite (Acari: Oribatida) fauna

Vietnam's oribatid mite fauna, comprising 320 species (including four subspecies) from 64 families, reveals significant endemism and unique geographical distribution patterns. The study identifies six zoogeographical sub-divisions in Vietnam based on oribatid diversity, with 34.68% of species likely endemic. Notably, 155 species were recorded for the first time in Vietnam, contributing to a broader understanding of its biodiversity. This research provides critical insights into the region's ecological partitioning and highlights the importance of sites like Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park in global oribatid diversity studies.
