Bory Tucholskie National Park, founded in 1996, is one of the most recently established national parks in Poland, and therefore, has not been thoroughly examined yet. The authors of the current study present results of their research concerning communities of mites from the suborder Uropodina (Acari: Mesostigmata), inhabiting bird nesting boxes within the area of Bory Tucholskie National Park. The mite community comprises two nidicolous species, i.e. Leiodinychus orbicularis (C.L. Koch, 1839) and Chiropturopoda nidiphila (Wiśniewski and Hirschmann 1993). The former is a species characteristic of various types of nests, as well as nesting boxes, where it is usually the eudominant species. The latter is an extremely rare and scarce species of Uropodina, known thus far from woodpeckers' hollows. The population of L. orbicularis in the analysed communities in the realm of Bory Tucholskie National Park has been estimated to be over 6,000 specimens, and in the case of Ch. nidiphila - over 400 specimens.
博利舒奇国家公园成立于 1996 年，是波兰最近设立的国家公园之一，因此尚未经过彻底的考察。本研究的作者展示了他们对栖息在博利舒奇国家公园范围内鸟类筑巢箱内的跗节亚目（蜱螨目：中气门目）螨虫群落的研究结果。该螨群由两种嗜鸟巢生的物种组成，即 Leiodinychus orbicularis（C.L. Koch，1839）和 Chiropturopoda nidiphila（Wiśniewski 和 Hirschmann，1993）。前者是一种常见于各种类型巢和鸟巢的物种，通常是优势种。后者是跗节亚目中一种极其罕见和稀少的物种，迄今为止仅在啄木鸟的洞穴中发现过。在分析的博利舒奇国家公园范围内的群落中，L. orbicularis 的种群估计超过 6000 个标本，而 Ch. nidiphila 的种群则超过 400 个标本。
