Über das Ebook
Amblemine Gill Mites focuses on mites (Acari: Unionicolidae: Unionicolinae: Unionicola: Berezatax and Unionicolides) that are parasitic on the gills of North American freshwater mussels (Unionida: Unionidae: Ambleminae). These mites are described, and their host associations are updated. Recent systematic work on both the mussels and mites have resulted in name changes that require a re-evaluation of host-parasite associations. Further, these changes reflect cospeciation and potential cophylogeny of mussels and mites, and they permit a better understanding of the complex communities of North American freshwater mussels and their symbiotic associations.
