About the Book
Najadicola and Unionicola: Collections briefly introduces these freshwater mites that are usually easy to find in the mantle cavities of freshwater mussels and some snails. The book focuses on the collections of the author and emphasizes the ‘whole mount’ slides, some 1800 of them, which display the mites used in part by the author in describing more than 50 species. Numerous pictures of the mites on the slides accompany the lists of slides.
