| description | The nests of the birds can host a great diversity of arthropods, which is a function of the composition, structure and size of the nest, as well as the activities of the bird. The most abundant component of the arthropod fauna present in the nests are the mites, which include the fauna associated with the microenvironment of the nest. The aim of the present work was to explore the richness and diversity of mites associated with the golden eagle nests and provide information on the mite-nest association. Two golden eagle nests (Aquila chysaetos canadensis) were collected on July 19, 2013 in Sierra Fría, Zacatecas (Nest I) and Juan Grande, Aguascalientes (Nest II), Mexico. All the materials of the nests were processed according to the Berlese-Tullgren funnel technique. For both nests there were 2,141 mites, belonging to 68 species of 49 families, for both nests, the adults were the best development phase, being the females the most abundant, with values of 85.57% for Nest I and 74.30% for Nest II. For the Nest I, the most abundant species was Macrocheles mexicanus (Evans & Hyatt, 1963) (Macrochelidae), with a value of 50.64%, being the females more abundant than the males. On the other hand, the most abundant species in Nest II was Eulohmannia sp. (13.61%), registering females, deutonymphs and larvae. Diversity and richness were calculated for the two golden eagle nests, where Nest II presented a higher diversity and richness of species (1-D= 0.927, ???= 7.455). This work represents a first approach to the knowledge of mites associated with golden eagle nests. |

Los nidos de las aves pueden llegar a albergar a una gran diversidad de artrópodos, la cual está en función de la composición, estructura y tamaño del nido, así como de las actividades del ave. El componente más abundante de la artropodofauna presente en los nidos son los ácaros, los cuales comprenden la fauna asociada con el microambiente del nido. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue explorar la riqueza y diversidad de ácaros asociados a los nidos de águila real y aportar información sobre la asociación ácaros-nido. Se recolectaron dos nidos de águila real (Aquila chysaetos canadensis) el 19 de julio de 2013 en Sierra Fría, Zacatecas (Nido I) y Juan Grande, Aguascalientes (Nido II), México. Los materiales de los nidos se procesaron de acuerdo con la técnica de embudos de Berlese-Tullgren. Se encontraron 2,141 ácaros, pertenecientes a 68 especies de 49 familias para ambos nidos. Las hembras presentaron la mayor abundancia, con valores de 85.57% para el Nido I y 74.30% para el Nido II. Para el Nido I, la especie más abundante fue Macrocheles mexicanus (Evans & Hyatt, 1963) (Macrochelidae), con un valor del 50.64%, siendo las hembras más abundantes que los machos. Por otro lado, la especie más abundante en el Nido II fue Eulohmannia sp. (13.61%), registrando hembras, deutoninfas, protoninfas y larvas. Se calculó la diversidad y riqueza para los dos nidos de águila real, donde el Nido II, presentó una mayor diversidad y riqueza de especies (1-D= 0.927; ???= 7.455). Este trabajo representa un primer acercamiento al conocimiento de la acarofauna asociada a nidos de águila real.
