Chelicerate mites diverged from other arthropod lineages more than 400 million years ago
and subsequently developed specific and remarkable xenobiotic adaptations. The study of …

Improved understanding of tick phylogeny has allowed testing of some biogeographical
patterns. On the basis of both literature data and a meta-analysis of available sequence …

Burmese amber is an extremely important source of mid-Cretaceous plant and animal
remains with over 870 species of organisms, ranging from protozoa to vertebrates …

Fossil spiders have not been fully cataloged since Bonnet's Bibliographia Araneorum and
are not included in the current Catalog. Since Bonnet's time there has been considerable …

Four fossil ticks (Arachnida: Parasitiformes: Ixodida) are described from mid-Cretaceous (ca.

A model based upon mechanics is used in a re-analysis of historical acarine morphological
work augmented by an extra seven zoophagous mesostigmatid species. This review shows …
