The proliferation of genomic resources for Chelicerata in the past 10 years has revealed that
the evolution of chelicerate genomes is more dynamic than previously thought, with multiple …

Acariform mites are an ancient and megadiverse lineage that may have experienced a
complex pattern of invasions into terrestrial and aquatic habitats. These among-realm …

The majority of extant arachnids are terrestrial, but other chelicerates are generally aquatic,
including horseshoe crabs, sea spiders, and the extinct eurypterids. It is necessary to …

Understanding the temporal context of terrestrialization in chelicerates depends on whether
terrestrial groups, the traditional Arachnida, have a single origin and whether or not …

The information of marine halacarid fauna and research history are reviewed using 76
published papers on the Mediterranean and Black Sea region. In total, 105 marine halacarid …

Oribatid mites are an ancient group that already roamed terrestrial ecosystems in the early
and middle Devonian. The superfamily of Ameronothroidea, a supposedly monophyletic …

We are starting to appreciate that microscopic animals are not as widespread as previously
thought, but we still ignore to what extent and through which mechanisms the environment …

Molecular species delimitation, usually by COI DNA barcoding, shows that cryptic speciation
is a common phenomenon observed in most animal phyla. Cryptic species have frequently …

One of the most phylogenetically enigmatic taxa of Trombidiformes is the supercohort

A compilation of halacarid mite species (Halacaridae) found from more than 900 m above
sea level altitudes have been carried out based on published records. Sixteen species were …
