Abstract

This book is a timely compilation of synthesized information on behaviourally fascinating and economically important mites.

The book gives much attention to fundamental aspects of eriophyoid anatomy, behaviour, ecology and even systematics, as bases for understanding the ways of life of eriophyoid mites and their effects on host plants; in turn, this will lead to developing the most appropriate means of regulating mites as detrimental or beneficial organisms. It presents new views intended to stimulate interest in eriophyoids and their enemies, and it points to areas where further research is needed.

This book is intended for extension workers, experts of acarology and plant protection as well as students, teachers and researchers. It stimulates readers to critically test the view presented and aimes ultimately toward environmentally safe, sustainable and economically efficient means of regulating detrimental and beneficial eriophyoid mites.
...containing updated knowledge on nearly 3,000 species is a timely compilation of synthesized information now available on these mites.

Comprehensive and the best guide to eriophyoid research.
The book has several remarkable features. Firstly, it is up-to-date in many aspects.
Secondly, it is systematic in structure.
Thirdly, it is very comprehensive.
Last, but not the least, the elegant printing and beautiful binding will certainly enhance the commercial value of the book.

Overall, this book can only be considered a milestone in basic and applied acarology. Nearly all contributions have two important features: a comprehensive review of the subject and an assessment of critically needed information or potentially fruitful research directions.

...In summary, this volume represents a considerable achievement and a major contribution to both applied and theoretical acarology. the editors should be congratulated on the breadth and depth of coverage that they have been able to assemble and on the generally low level of typographical errors, mistakes in figures, etc. Part 1 is an outstanding achievement and could easily have stood alone as a major contribution to the field.
