Acarine colonisation of Antarctica and the islands of the Southern Ocean: the role of zoohoria
Abstract A quarter of the terrestrial Acari recorded from Antarctica and the sub-Antarctic islands are parasitic haematophages or non-feeding phoretics associated with other larger and more mobile animals, especially sea birds and pterygote insects. Although flying sea birds are effective vectors of...
