Informazioni sul libro
Among the water mites parasitizing freshwater lampsilinine mussels (Unionidae: Ambeminae: Lampsilini) is a group of large and distinctive mites that heretofore have been treated as a single species, Unionicola hoesei Vidrine 1986. This taxonomic group is now considered to be polyphyletic as a result of DNA sequencing. This book presents photomicrographs of a variety of the mites in this group. Discussions of the history of the subgenus Unionicolides, patterns of host associations, and conservation biology are some of the distinctive features of this volume. An appendix listing the freshwater mussels of Louisiana is provided.

Malcolm Vidrine

Professor Emeritus of Biology. Active biology researcher with numerous accomplishments, including working on teams that discovered leprosy in wild armadillos, modelled mosquito and other invertebrate populations in southwestern Louisiana rice fields, discovered and inventoried prairie remnants then restored prairies in southwestern Louisiana (Cajun Prairie), studied biogeography of freshwater mussels in Louisiana, and described new species and numerous associations of symbiotic freshwater mites (Unionicola) and their molluscan hosts. Dr. Vidrine also taught biology and genetics for 37 years at LSU Eunice, where he still serves as a part-time instructor. He has published 116 scientific articles, 10 popular articles and 20 books on the above research projects.
