A faunistic study of water mites (Hydrachnidia and Halacaridae) from southern Norway
Targeted sampling of a broad range of freshwater habitats over the past five years, combined with screening of recent records available in online databases, substantially increased the number of water mite species known to Norway. Among the 190 species now recorded (187 Hydrachnidia and 3 Halacarida...
