- Title
A statistical study of microdistribution of Oribatei (Acari) Part II: The transformation of the data.

- Abstract
This paper concerns the efficiency of the logarithmic transformation when applied to Oribatei censuses. From our observations, it appears that the transformation is usually able to normalize approximately the sampling frequency distribution (criteria g1 and g2). However, although the transformation considerably reduces heterogeneity of variances for a given species, it does not homogenize them sufficiently in cases where density variation is very great.
