Two New Phoretic Species of Heterostigmatic Mites (Acari: Prostigmata: Neopygmephoridae and Scutacaridae) on Australian Hydrophilid Beetles (Coleoptera: Hydrophilidae). [PDF]
Insects, 2022 Simple Summary Heterostigmatic mites are globally very diverse, and many are generally phoretic or parasitic on insects. However, the Australian fauna of phoretic heterostigmatic mites is almost unexplored.

Intraspecific sensilla dimorphism in Ascoschoengastia indica (Prostigmata, Trombiculidae). [PDF]
HeliyonAscoschoengastia indica is one of the dominant chigger species in Southeast Asia and a potential carrier of scrub typhus, due in part to its cosmopolitan nature. This study explored the possible biological significance of the observed dimorphism in the shape of its scutum sensilla.
