Abstract Details

2020, Doctor of Philosophy, Ohio State University, Evolution, Ecology and Organismal Biology.
This project addresses biodiversity, ecology, biology, and evolutionary aspects of mites associated with dung beetles as well as the biodiversity of other Mesostigmata mites found on soil from tropical regions. In Colombia, we studied some model species of mites from the families Megalolaelapidae and Macrochelidae, which are among the most abundant and specialized mites associated with dung beetles. Additionally, we studied other soil Mesostigmata species from other tropical regions such as Sumatra. In this study, we include studies in ontogeny, biology, the coevolution of genitalic structures, and description of new taxa.
