Miniaturization is one of the important trends in the evolution of terrestrial arthropods. In
order to study adaptations to microscopic sizes, the anatomy of the smallest insects was …

Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) is a modern powerful technique that can be
used for studying the external and internal anatomy of arthropods. CLSM has seldom been …

A new endoparasitic mite, Novophytoptus longissimus Chetverikov et Petanović n. sp., living
in parenchymatous stem tissue of the rush Juncus conglomeratus L.(Juncaceae) is …

The development of reliable techniques to provide large numbers of fixed mite embryos free
of their tough membranes has allowed us to produce scanning electron micrographs of …

Due to the higher resolution, confocal microscopy (CLSM) can be applied to refine the origin
of tiny structures of the autofluorescent exoskeletons of microarthropods (mites in particular) …

The embryonic development of four eriophyoid mite species, Cecidophyopsis ribis,
Phytoptus avellanae, Oziella liroi and Loboquintus subsquamatus, has been studied with …

Simple Summary Eriophyoidea (gall mites) are a group of four-legged, vermiform plant
feeders that are among the most economically damaging groups of mites. Gall mites …

The ventriculus and the midgut caeca of the fed females of Anystis baccarum (L.) were
investigated by using light and electron microscopy. In addition to the main type of …

Ptychoidy is a mechanical defensive mechanism of some groups of oribatid mites, in which
the legs and coxisternum can be completely retracted into the idiosoma and the prodorsum …

The general morphology of cuticle-lined internal genitalia and oviduct is analyzed in intact
females of the phytophagous mites, Loboquintus subsquamatus and Trisetacus cf …
