Morphological support for a clade comprising two vermiform mite lineages: Eriophyoidea (Acariformes) and Nematalycidae (Acariformes) [PDF]
Systematic and Applied Acarology, 2017 A morphology-based parsimony analysis (50 taxa; 110 characters) focused on relationships among basal acariform mites places Eriophyoidea (formerly in Trombidiformes) within Nematalycidae (Sarcoptiformes). Although both taxa have worm-like bodies, this grouping is unexpected because it combines obligate plant inhabitants (Eriophyoidea) with obligate ...

A giant mite in Cretaceous Burmese amber [PDF]
Fossil Record, 2018 An unusually large acariform mite is described as Immensmaris chewbaccei gen. et sp. nov. from the Cretaceous (ca. 100 Ma) Burmese amber of Myanmar.

Caenonychus, a senior synonym of Speleorchestes (Acariformes: Nanorchestidae)
Systematic and Applied Acarology, 2022 The single known specimen of the monotypic genus Caenonychus Oudemans, 1902 was examined. No distinguishing characters could be found to justify the retention of Speleorchestes Trägårdh, 1909 as a separate genus from Caenonychus. Grandjean (1939) suspected these genera were synonymous but retained Speleorchestes as valid because of a difference between

Diversity, 2020 Demodecidae are the most specialized parasitic mites of mammals; they typically inhabit the skin, but they have been found in other tissues and organs.

A new Eocene free-living cheyletid mite from Baltic amber [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2016 A new species of predaceous mite, Cheletomimus (Hemicheyletia) crinitus sp. nov. (Acariformes: Cheyletidae), is described from Eocene Baltic amber based on a fossil female. Among species of the genus, it belongs to the C.

Applicability of environmental DNA metabarcoding for the hyporheic zone of a stream bed
Environmental DNA, Volume 5, Issue 6, Page 1667-1678, November 2023., 2023 To understand whole riverine biodiversity, including hyporheric zones, it is necessary to develop a method to easily and accurately detect hyporheos communities in hyporheic zones, which currently remains poorly understood. Using eDNA metabarcoding for cytochrome‐c oxidase subunit I (COI) regions, we successfully detected various hyporheos and benthos ...

Why should we compare morphological and molecular disparity?
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 9, Page 2390-2410, September 2023., 2023 Abstract Indices of morphological disparity seek to summarise the highly multivariate morphological variation across groups of species within clades, time bins or other groups. Morphological variation can be quantified using geometric morphometric, outline or surface‐based methods.

A REPLACEMENT NAME FOR THORIA ZACHARDA (ACARIFORMES: PROSTIGMATA: EUPODOIDEA) [PDF]
Acarina, 2021 A genus name of Trombidiformes Prostigmata turned out to be a junior homonym (preoccupied by an insect name) and a replacement name is proposed: Sigthoria nom. n. pro Thoria Zacharda, 1980 nec Stål, 1864. Two new combinations (comb. n.) are provided.

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2010 Background Mites (Acari) have traditionally been treated as monophyletic, albeit composed of two major lineages: Acariformes and Parasitiformes. Yet recent studies based on morphology, molecular data, or combinations thereof, have increasingly drawn ...
