Air‐breathing littoral mites of sub‐Antarctic South Georgia
Nine species of littoral air‐breathing Acari were collected at Husvik Harbour, South Georgia, comprising three Parasitiphis (Rhodacaridae), one Nanorchestes (Nanorchestidae), two Halo‐zetes (Podacaridae) and three Hyadesia (Hyadesidae). All of the adaptive physiological and structural features obser...
