human and livestock diseases transmitted by ticks and other parasitic mites
interactions between mites and their food plants
mites as biological control agents
use of genetic markers in mite population studies
mites as bioindicators
ecology and biology of soil mites
mite evolutionary ecology and reproduction
advances in acarine diversity and systematics

The 90 papers in the book represent some of the best research from leading international researchers from over 50 countries, and helps to establish priorities for future research. All papers have been peer reviewed and edited.

Acarology is a comprehensive and important addition to the world literature on mites, and is an essential addition to all acarological and entomological reference collections.
