Houck | | 视频video | | | 图书封面 |  | | 描述 | Many mites possess extremely intricate life styles in closeassociation with plant and animal hosts. Their polymorphism has madeclassification a challenge, and their ability to reproduce bothsexually and asexually has made efforts to control their populationsdifficult. This, however, has given rise to theories to explain theorigin and function of sexual reproduction in general. In numbers ofspecies and geographic distribution, mites may even surpass theinsects. In soils, they are a major component in the system forcycling nutrients. Unlike insects, they have invaded the marineenvironment. These and a number of other topics are explored inMites. Because of their extremely small size, mites have been ignoredduring the development of major evolutionary and ecological theories.Yet mites routinely violate fundamental concepts such asheterochrony, sexual selection, the evolution of sex ratio, andontogeny. Recent research methodologies have made it practical forthe first time to perform experimental work with mites, and sincethey offer short generation times and rapid research results, theyare excellent model systems.
