Uropodina
Uropodina is an infraorder of mites in the order Mesostigmata. Description In Uropodina, the sternal and ventral shields are usually fused, the hypostomal setae are situated in a row, the legs are relatively short and with reduced setae, the coxae of the first leg pair are greatly enlarged to partially or entirely cover the base of the tritosternum, and the stigmata are situated between the second and third leg pairs. Beyond this, Uropodina are morphologically variable and their taxonomy still a matter of debate. Many species are only known from some parts of their life cycle. Reproduction Most species of Uropodina reproduce sexually, but some are capable of parthenogenesis. In these species, males either do not exist or are rare (usually less than 0.5% of the population). Ecology Uropodina can be found in soil, forest litter, moss, lichen, under rocks, in nests of various animals, dung and carrion. They may reach abundances of 5,000 individuals/m2 in meadow soils and 2, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Uropodidae Ventral
Uropodidae is a family of mites in the order Mesostigmata. Description As part of superfamily Uropodoidea, Uropodidae are tortoise-like mites with an oval to circular outline, and with armour both dorsally and ventrally. They can be distinguished from other uropodoids by their chelicerae lacking a large, sclerotized node and their genital opening being in an intercoxal position. Ecology Several species in the family commonly infest worm bins and consume food intended for the worms. An undescribed species of Uropodidae sucks out the hemolymph of pupae of ''Pheidole megacephala'' ants, resulting in the death of pupae. It preferentially attacks pupae of soldier and male ants. Uropodidae are phoretic on larger arthropods, meaning that they attach to larger arthropods to be transported to new places. This attachment is achieved using a pedicel of translucent material extruded from the mite's anus. One known host for uropodid mites is the red palm weevil (''Rhynchophorus ferrugi ...

Mesostigmata
Mesostigmata is an order of mites belonging to the Parasitiformes. They are by far the largest group of Parasitiformes, with over 8,000 species in 130 families. Mesostigmata includes parasitic as well as free-living and predatory forms. They can be recognized by the single pair of spiracles positioned laterally on the body. The family with the most described species is Phytoseiidae. Other families of note are Diplogyniidae, Macrochelidae, Pachylaelapidae, Uropodidae and Veigaiidae. Amongst the best known species are '' Varroa destructor'', an economically important parasite of honey bees, as well as the red mite (''Dermanyssus gallinae'') a parasite of poultry, most commonly chickens. Description Mesostigmata are mites ranging from 0.12-4 mm long (0.2-4 mm according to another source). They have a pair of stigmatal openings above legs III-IV usually associated with a peritrematal groove. The gnathosoma has a sclerotised ring around the bases of the chelicerae (basis ...

Honey Bee
A honey bee (also spelled honeybee) is a eusocial flying insect within the genus ''Apis'' of the bee clade, all native to Afro-Eurasia. After bees spread naturally throughout Africa and Eurasia, humans became responsible for the current cosmopolitan distribution of honey bees, introducing multiple subspecies into South America (early 16th century), North America (early 17th century), and Australia (early 19th century). Honey bees are known for their construction of wiktionary:perennial, perennial Colony (biology), colonial nests from Beeswax, wax, the large size of their colonies, and surplus production and storage of honey, distinguishing their hives as a prized foraging target of many animals, including honey badgers, bears and human hunter-gatherers. Only eight surviving species of honey bee are recognized, with a total of 43 subspecies, though historically 7 to 11 species are recognized. Honey bees represent only a small fraction of the roughly 20,000 known species of bees ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
