Aceria Pycnocomi
''Aceria'' is a genus of mites belonging to the family Eriophyidae, the gall mites. These tiny animals are parasites of plants. Several species can cause blistering and galls, including erineum galls. A few are economically significant pests, while others are useful as agents of biological pest control of invasive plants such as rush skeletonweed (''Chondrilla juncea''), creeping thistle (''Cirsium arvense''), and field bindweed (''Convolvulus arvensis''). There are over 900 species in the genus. In 2017, a new species, '' Aceria pycnocomi'' was found on '' Pycnocomon rutifolium'' in Spain. Selected species * ''Aceria aloinis'' – aloe mite * '' Aceria anthocoptes'' rust mite, russet mite * ''Aceria baccharices'' Arroyo willow mite * ''Aceria banatica'' Vidovic, B.

Scanning Electron Micrograph
A scanning electron microscope (SEM) is a type of electron microscope that produces images of a sample by scanning the surface with a focused beam of electrons. The electrons interact with atoms in the sample, producing various signals that contain information about the surface topography and composition. The electron beam is scanned in a raster scan pattern, and the position of the beam is combined with the Intensity (physics), intensity of the detected signal to produce an image. In the most common SEM mode, secondary electrons emitted by atoms excited by the electron beam are detected using a secondary electron detector (Everhart–Thornley detector). The number of secondary electrons that can be detected, and thus the signal intensity, depends, among other things, on specimen topography. Some SEMs can achieve resolutions better than 1 Nanometre, nanometer. Specimens are observed in high vacuum in a Convention (norm), conventional SEM, or in low vacuum or wet conditions in ...

Convolvulus Arvensis
''Convolvulus arvensis'', or field bindweed, is a species of bindweed in the Convolvulaceae native to Europe and Asia. It is a rhizomatous and climbing or creeping herbaceous perennial plant with stems growing to in length. It is usually found at ground level with small white and pink flowers. Other common names, mostly obsolete, include lesser bindweed, European bindweed, withy wind (in basket willow crops), perennial morning glory, small-flowered morning glory, creeping jenny, and possession vine. Taxonomy Field bindweed was first described in 1753 by Carl Linnaeus in the ''Species Plantarum''. In the following centuries, many subspecies, varieties, and synonymous taxa were discovered and described as purportedly new species in places including China, Russia, Egypt, and Morocco. New species and forms were described as far as Chile, Mexico, and the state of California when botanists encountered the plant there, although it is not native to these areas. In the ninth volume ...

Aceria Brachytarsus
''Aceria brachytarsus'', formerly ''Eriophyes brachytarsus'', also known as the pouch gall mite or the walnut purse gall mite, is an eriophyoid mite that produces leaf-pouch galls on various species of walnut trees including ''Juglans californica ''Juglans californica'', the California black walnut, also called the California walnut, or the Southern California black walnut, is a large shrub or small tree (about ) of the walnut family, Juglandaceae, endemic to the Central Valley and the Co ...''.

Aceria Baccharices
''Aceria baccharices'', also known as the mulefat leaf-blister mite and formerly known as ''Eriophyes baccharices'', is a species of arachnid native to North America that induces galls on two California willows, '' Baccharis salicifolia'' and '' Baccharis glutinosa''. This mite was first described to science by Hartford H. Keifer in 1945. According to Keifer, "the typical host is the long-leaf type ''Baccharis ''Baccharis'' is a genus of perennial plant, perennials and shrubs in the Asteraceae, aster family (Asteraceae). They are commonly known as baccharises but sometimes referred to as "brooms", because many members have small thin leaves resembling ...'' which is common to dry washes in northern California. The other host is similar but confined to the south." These galls, which look like warty protrusions from the surface of the leaf, are nurseries for the next generation of mites. The adults eventually leave the leaf via anterior exit holes that may be visible. ''Aceria ...

Alfred Nalepa
Alfred Nalepa (19 December 1856, in Werschetz – 11 December 1929, in Baden bei Wien) was an Austrian zoologist specializing in the field of acarology. He studied natural sciences at the University of Vienna, and from 1886 was associated with the ''Lehrerbildungsanstalt'' in Linz. In 1892 he returned to Vienna, where he was high school teacher of natural history at the ''Elisabethgymnasium''. He described many species in the field of acarology, and was the taxonomic authority of the gall mite family, Eriophyidae.
