An exceptionally well-preserved Eocene fossil mite, Histiogaster altilis sp. n. (Acari: Astigmata), from tree sap:Evidence of morphological and ecological niche conservatism, with a review of fossil Astigmata [PDF]
We describe Histiogaster altilis sp. nov. (Acari: Astigmata: Acaridae), a newly identified species of mite from Eocene Rovno amber (34–37 Ma), based on both male and female specimens.

Response of Amblyseius swirskii to deltamethrin
The analysis of toxicological and molecular data reveals target‐site as well as metabolic modifications associated with the resistance to deltamethrin in Amblyseius swirskii colonies. However, semi‐field assays show increased run‐off behavior after treatments with the same pesticide.

New records of feather mites (Acariformes: Astigmata) from non-passerine birds (Aves) in Brazil [PDF]
We present the results of our investigation of feather mites (Astigmata) associated with non-passerine birds in Brazil. The studied birds were obtained from roadkills, airport accidents, and from capitivity.

Mites (Acarina: Astigmata) associated with adult freshwater leeches (Hirudinea: Erpobdellidae) [PDF]
Two species of mites (Astigmata: Acarina) were found crawling on the integument of cultured Nephelopsis obscura, a common North American leech. This is the first record of an association between mites and adult annelids.

Symbionts are key elements of ecosystems, by playing important roles in shaping the biology and ecology of their hosts. However, the factors determining symbiont loads across host species are still unclear. Nowadays, we know that the intensity and prevalence of feather mites, the most diverse group of avian ectosymbionts, differ strongly between ...
