Diversity, 2020 Water mites represent the most diverse and abundant group of Arachnida in freshwater ecosystems, with about 6000 species described; however, it is estimated that this number represents only 30% of the total expected species.

The Biodiversity of Water Mites That Prey on and Parasitize Mosquitoes
Diversity, 2020 Water mites form one of the most biodiverse groups within the aquatic arachnid class. These freshwater macroinvertebrates are predators and parasites of the equally diverse nematocerous Dipterans, such as mosquitoes, and water mites are believed to have ...

International Journal of Ecology, Volume 2011, Issue 1, 2011., 2011 Existing classifications of benthic and interstitial freshwater invertebrates are described and discussed. A classification is proposed for southern neotropical (south of latitude S 15) water mites in relation to their life style and habitat preferences. The classification includes planktonic, superficial, benthic, thermal, and subterranean forms.

Temperature‐dependent interspecific interference alters pygmy backswimmer predation on water fleas
Ecological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 5, Page 948-951, October 2025.Increasing densities of water mites alter the predation behaviour of pygmy backswimmer, particularly in higher temperatures. Pygmy backswimmer displayed type II functional response across all the treatments. In the absence of water mites, the functional response was higher at 25°C than at 16°C, indicated by a higher space clearance rate.

Acta Biologica, 2018 The water mite communities of the Bukowa River were found to be similar to those of other lowland rivers in Poland. An element specific to the Bukowa River was a much higher abundance of Lebertia inaequalis than in other Polish rivers.

Is the local environment more important than within‐host interactions in determining coinfection?
Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 93, Issue 10, Page 1541-1555, October 2024.Coinfection dynamics in many systems are affected by within‐host interactions, via either direct or indirect mechanisms. Our study shows that this is not always the case, as we highlight a role of the local environment in determining coinfection in multiple host species.
