Repeated convergent evolution of parthenogenesis in Acariformes (Acari) [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 The existence of old species‐rich parthenogenetic taxa is a conundrum in evolutionary biology. Such taxa point to ancient parthenogenetic radiations resulting in morphologically distinct species.

Where Eriophyoidea (Acariformes) Belong in the Tree of Life
Insects, 2023 Over the past century and a half, the taxonomic placement of Eriophyoidea has been in flux. For much of this period, this group has been treated as a subtaxon within Trombidiformes.

Ancient gene linkages and ultraconserved elements disentangle Acari interrelationships [PDF]
iScienceSummary: The interrelationships among Acari groups, Acariformes (mites) and Parasitiformes (ticks and parasitic mites) have been debated for long. We interrogated 90 genomes of Arachnida through a customized Chelicerata-wide ultraconserved elements bait ...
