More than 40,000 species of mites have been described, and up to 1
million may exist on earth. These tiny arachnids play many
ecological roles including acting as vectors of disease, vital
players in soil formation, and important agents of biological
control. But despite the grand diversity of mites, even trained
biologists are often unaware of their significance. Mites: Ecology,
Evolution and Behaviour (2nd edition) aims to fill the gaps in our
understanding of these intriguing creatures. It surveys life
cycles, feeding behaviour, reproductive biology and
host-associations of mites without requiring prior knowledge of
their morphology or taxonomy. Topics covered include evolution of
mites and other arachnids, mites in soil and water, mites on plants
and animals, sperm transfer and reproduction, mites and human
disease, and mites as models for ecological and evolutionary
theories.
