Description
"This book 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, and mites as models of ecological and evolutionary theories. It is essential reading for acarologists, and of great interest to anyone studying biology, zoology, and ecology."--Jacket.
