This book provides an identification key to the 96 families, 250 genera and the c.580 described species for Canada and Alaska, a fauna that encompasses more than 50% of Northern Hemisphere genera. It includes known data on the ecology of species, their distribution in the Holarctic region, and relevant literature. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOribatid mites are model arthropods in studies on development, morphology, ecology, physiology, and biomechanics. Growing recognition of the importance of soil systems for agriculture, reclamation, carbon storage and climate mitigation has spurred recent interest in the vast soil biodiversity that provide these ecosystem services. Yet the major barrier to exploring and understanding soil biodiversity is lack of comprehensive and functional taxonomic and ecological treatments of key biotic groups; groups such as the oribatid mites. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003eOribatid Mites is unparalleled in the comprehensive nature of the information provided. The authors, two leading global experts for this group, hope that readers will come to share their understanding of oribatid mites as part of the charismatic microfauna, the imagery in this book conveying their unique beauty. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Valerie Behan-Pelletier, Zoë Lindo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032102934\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032102931\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CRC Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/31\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 508\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 1.13d","brand":"Valerie Behan-Pelletier","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44128236830975,"sku":"9781032102931","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_64bfff16-d89c-450c-b2fd-87456d87b87d.jpg?v=1687457676","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/oribatid-mites-valerie-behan-pelletier-9781032102931","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
