HOST EXPLOITATION OF TWO CLOSELY RELATED WATER MITES

Evolution, 1967
The first developmental stage of most water mites, the larva, parasitizes winged insects. After a brief interlude as a parasite the mite becomes an aquatic predator for the rest of its life. The fact that many isolated species by-pass the initial six-legged parasitic stage and hatch out as eight-legged predatory nymphs proves that parasitic feeding is ...

Water Spiders and Mites – Chelicerata

2013
Freshwater mites (Hydrachnidae) (Fig. 117/1) are chelicerates, often of vivid red, yellow or green colour and with an unsegmented body up to 8 mm. Species inhabiting stagnant or slow-streaming waters are round or oval, while those living in fast-flowing waters are more or less flattened. Due to the mucus of unpleasant flavour, secreted by the glands of

Major Evolutionary Lines in Water Mites

Systematic Biology, 1957
OVER the years many data have accumulated on life histories and the larval forms of water-mites. This information, when collated, indicates a broad uniformity in the water-mites and, moreover, points up phyletic lines that have not been well established on other data.

The biodiversity of Neotropical water mites

2002
The first studies on water mites from Central and South America date back to the 1880s, and although 1,360 species in 173 genera have been recorded so far, our knowledge of the diversity of this group in the Neotropic is rather incomplete. In order to estimate the total number of water mite species in this faunal region, I surveyed the state of the art

The Mating Behavior of Pionid Water-Mites

American Midland Naturalist, 1957
The striking modifications of the fourth leg of male Pionidae are assigned considerable importance as subfamily characters. It is also known that the species of each subfamily have a specific mating position and each has certain behavior traits as well (Piersig, 1900; Koenike, 1891; Viets, 1914; Motas, 19'28; Marshall, 1929'; Uchida, 1932, 1940).
