Mites in Soil : an Interactive Key to Mites and Other Soil Microarthropods

Mites in Soil contains 5 interactive keys for the identification of 101 families of soil mites, and more than 60 higher-level taxa of soil micro-arthropods and related groups (Onycophora, Tardigrada).

The five keys are: * Classes and Orders of Microarthropods in Soil (31 classes and orders) * Mites in Soil - Orders, Suborders, Cohorts (31 suborders and cohorts) * Families of Protostigmata in Soil (43 families) * Families of Parasitiformes in Soil (46 families) * Endeostigmata and Sphaerolichida (12 families).

The keys, constructed primarily to deal with the Australian soil fauna, are broadly applicable, covering most classes and orders of terrestrial arthropods and most families of soil-litter inhabiting mites worldwide.
