Product Feature
Product Description
The morphological characters and their evolutionary tendencies are analysed on
the basis of a material comprising more than 200 species world-wide. The author proposes a classification of the superfamily according to the cladistic procedure, and he demonstrates that the application of a phenetic or evolutionary procedure does not permit the establishment of a natural classification. He subdivides the Phthiracaroidea into 2 families, 3 subfamilies, 5 tribes, 9 genera and 4 subgenera.
Subsequently, diagnoses of the superior taxons are presented, with comments concerning those genera regarded as synonyms. The chapter on the inventory of species consists of two parts. First part deals with 223 species studied by the author and with 47 species considered to be synonyms. The second part is concerned with the remaining 116 species and subspecies, including some 25 uncertain forms or species inquirendae. A list of new localities in various regions of the world is given, as well as the descriptions of 223 species with their drawings and geographic distribution. Keys for the determination of species and superior taxons are provided.
Comments concerning the phenomenon of neotrichy, and certain features of the zoogeography and ecology of the Phthiracaroidea are presented.
The author, professor at the Biology Dept. of the Mickiewicz University in Poznan, has been researching soil mites (Acari) for over 20 years. His investigations have mainly been concerned with the fauna and ecology of moss mites, in particular the ecological succession of their communities, determination of microhabitats of the occurrence of species, autecology and the fauna of arboreal mites.
Perhaps the most important aspect of Professor Niedbala's research work is the taxonomy of moss mites (Oribatida). In the monograph dealing with Brachychthoniidae family he presented a new concept of the evolution of genera.
