How eriophyid mites shape metal metabolism in leaf galls on Tilia cordata. [PDF]
Summary Metal metabolism in plant–galler interactions is largely unknown. We hypothesise that the mites manipulate metal distribution by sequestration of excessive levels and differential regulation of metalloproteins to support the main functions of gall‐nutrition, protection and microenvironment.

EVOLUTIONARY PLACTICITY OF HIGHLY SPECIALIZED ORGANISMS: EVOLUTION OF ERIOPHYOID MITES (ACARIFORMES: ERIOPHYOIDEA) ON PLANTS [PDF]
Eriophyoids are highly specialized plant-feeding acarifom mites. As a result of miniaturization and adaptation to phytoparasitism they lacked III and IV pairs of legs and acquired elongated vermiform body, unique structure of gnathosoma and peculiar ...

A molecular phylogeny of gall-forming mites (superfamily Eriophyoidea) [PDF]
Although the monophyly of Eriophyoidea is well supported (Xue et al. 2017, Arribas et al. 2019), current classification within the superfamily (Amrine et al. 2003) relies on morphological characters that have been found to be largely homoplastic (Craemer
