Mites: Ecology, Evolution and Behaviour (2nd edition) aims to fill the gaps in our
understanding of these intriguing creatures. It surveys life cycles, feeding behaviour,
reproductive biology and host-associations of mites without requiring prior knowledge
of their morphology or taxonomy. Topics covered include evolution of mites and other
arachnids, mites in soil and water, mites on plants and animals, sperm transfer and
reproduction, mites and human disease, and mites as models for testing ecological
and evolutionary theories. -- Publisher
