ABSTRACT Understanding ecological and evolutionary mechanisms that drive biodiversity patterns is important for comprehending biodiversity. Despite being critically to the functioning of ecosystems, driving belowground are little understood. We investigated radiation trait diversity soil oribatid mites from two mountain ranges, is, Alps in Austria Changbai Mountain China, at similar latitude temperate zone differing formation processes (orogenesis) exposed different climates. collected sequenced forests 950–1700 m each embedded them into chronogram species Eurasia. phylogenetic age compared node with uplift time Mountain. then inspected trophic variation, geographical range size, reproductive mode, identified traits promote mite survival evolution montane forest ecosystems. found on phylogenetically older than Alps. All evolved long before Mountain, but some after orogenesis On more possess broader have larger sizes, often reproduce via parthenogenesis Species survived or colonized thereafter, supporting view generalistic old animal species. Collectively, our findings highlight combining phylogeny allow deeper insight forces shaping
