  Acari Web \\ AToL
Mites (Acari or Acarina) are the most diverse and abundant of all arachnids, but because of their small size (usually less than a millimeter in length) we rarely see them.
Red velvet mites are also among the giants of the Acari (to 10 mm), and can often be seen hunting on the ground or on tree trunks.
--> Acari (ticks and mites) are an ancient mega-diverse group that displays a bewildering array of life histories and that occupies a stunning array of habitats.

 Acarina - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Acarina or Acari is an order of arachnids that consists of mites and ticks.

 Acari
The Parasitiformes and Opilioacariformes are thought to be sister groups, and in turn this taxon (the Anactinotrichida, so named because of the absence in their setae of optically active actinochitin) is considered the sister group of the Acariformes (also called the Actinotrichida).
Van der Hammen (1989) considered the Acari to be diphyletic, and the Acariformes and Parasitiformes at most distantly related.

 Acari at University of Michigan Museum of Zoology Web Page
Mites comprise the Acari; the largest group within the arthropod Class Arachnida, with over 48,000 described species.
This number is misleading since it is estimated that only between 5-10% of all mite species have been formally described.
Also, the natural role of mites in providing "ecosystem services" in the form of nutrient cycling, cannot be overlooked.

Many other members of the Acari are microscopic, like this unidentified mite photographed with UCMP's Environmental Scanning Electron Microscope.
In all there are about 30,000 species of Acari known, and that is probably only a fraction of the actual number of species.
However, because of their small size, the Acari are uncommon in the fossil record.

 The Acari
Mites are a very successful life form and have been around for some time, the earliest known fossil Mites date from the early Devonian period (Protoacarus crani) 376 to 379 million years ago.
The Subclass Acari is divided into 2 Superorders containing a total of 7 Orders between them.
For example the Astigmata tend to go through all 6 stases but the prelarva and the deuteronymph are non-feeding, the deuteronymph being a dispersal stage with special adaptations for 'hitch-hiking (see below) in many species; while the Ticks (Ixodida) pass through only three stases.

Interpretive Summary: Watermelon is an important crop in many parts of the world, however pests and diseases cause extensive damage to this crop in the U.S. The two-spotted spider mite is an important pest that can deform leaves and flowers, stunt plant growth, and reduce yield of watermelon.
To help protect this crop, there is a need to evaluate and identify watermelon germplasm that may be useful in enhancing plant resistance against T. urticae.

A general collection of Acari was initiated only in 1970, in connection with a course in systematic acarology previously taught by G.C. Eickwort, and its use as a systematic resource is quite recent.
Slide-mounted materials are identified to family or, in the case of economically important taxa, to genus or species.
