A model of ectoparasitic reproductive strategies is presented. To be successful, an ectoparasite must either disperse to find a new host or stay on one host and produce its progeny during the lifetime of the host. Dispersion is facilitated by utilizing many host species and by waiting for the next host; these strategies prolong the generation time. Staying on the host is facilitated by shortening the generation time. Ectoparasites that repeatedly move on and off hosts are thus expected to have wide host preference spectra and long generation times while sedentary ectoparasites are expected to have narrow host preference spectra and short generation times. Population parameters of 27 ectoparasitic species (fleas, lice, mesostigmatic mites, and one ixodid tick species) on cyclic small mammal populations were investigated and a cluster analysis was performed. Three population parameters proved to be important and could be used to form a base for life-trait grouping of the ectoparasites: (i) the host preference spectra; (ii) the time lag between host and parasite peak abundance; and (iii) the intensity of the infestation. Three groups of ectoparasitic life traits were discernible: (i) species with narrow host preference spectra, no time lag (short ectoparasitic generation time), and major infestation: the Anoplura\–Laelapinae group; (ii) species with moderate to wide host preference spectra, 1-year time lag (long parasitic generation time), and minor infestation: the Siphonaptera\–Haemogamasinae group; (iii) one species, Ixodes trianguliceps, had moderate host preference spectrum, 2-year time lag, and moderate infestation. Ectoparasites, such as trombiculid mites and the tick Ixodes ricinus, which are not confined to small mammals, were missing or very rare on the cyclic small mammal populations. This was predicted by the model.

For this the research, 2035 individuals of small mammals of 18 species were examined in order to find out the presence of obligate hematophages (Anoplura); from those 984 lice of 5 species were collected. The species composition of Anoplura, the indices of occurrence, infestation and the abundance of Anoplura on the Insectivora and Rodentia were analyzed. There have been noted repeated cases of Anoplura parasitizing the mammals unusual for them, which reflects interspecific contacts of small mammals. The features of the biotopic confinement of the parasite were considered.

1283 arthropods belonging to ~84 species were obtained from 15 species of small mammals: 976 Acari at least of 62 species, 85 Anoplura of 7 species and 123 Siphonaptera of 15 species. Ctenophthalmus bisoctodentatus, C. congener, Doratoipsylla dasycnema, Palaeopsylla kohauti, Hoplopleura afinis, H. edentula, H. longula and 24 species of Acari are recorded for the irst time from the Lubuskie province. Most species of arthropods (47 ) were collected from Myodes glareolus and Apodemus agrarius (35). Most arthropods were collected from M. glareolus (326) and Apodemus sylvaticus (213). The most numerous arthropods were Laelaps agilis, Glycyphagus hypudaei, Ixodes ricinus, Listrophorus brevipes, Echinonyssus sunci and Laelaps hilaris.
