Wolfgang Karg
Wolfgang Siegfried Karg (1927–2016) was an East German entomologist who specialised in mites (Acari). Following captivity in World War II he completed high school and teacher training, and then taught in high schools from 1948 to 1950 in Groß-Alsleben, Sachsen-Anhalt, in what was then East Germany. He received his doctorate in 1960 from Humboldt University in Berlin and completed his habilitation in 1965 with a thesis on phylogeny of predatory mites. From 1956 he worked at the Biological Research Centre in Berlin. In 1990 he was appointed professor. He worked on the effect of pesticides on microarthropods in various ecosystems; predatoy mites in agronomy; and the systematics and phylogeny of Mesostigmata, and was awarded the Fabricius medal in 1993 by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Allgemeine und Angewandte Entomologie (German entomology society). Species Species named and described by Karg Over 800 taxa were named and described by Karg. See also Taxa named by ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mite
Mites are small arachnids (eight-legged arthropods). Mites span two large orders of arachnids, the Acariformes and the Parasitiformes, which were historically grouped together in the subclass Acari, but genetic analysis does not show clear evidence of a close relationship. Most mites are tiny, less than in length, and have a simple, unsegmented body plan. The small size of most species makes them easily overlooked; some species live in water, many live in soil as decomposers, others live on plants, sometimes creating galls, while others again are Predation, predators or Parasitism, parasites. This last type includes the commercially destructive ''Varroa'' parasite of honey bees, as well as scabies mites of humans. Most species are harmless to humans, but a few are associated with allergies or may transmit diseases. The scientific discipline devoted to the study of mites is called acarology. Evolution and taxonomy The mites are not a defined taxon, but is used for two disti ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Phytoseiidae
The Phytoseiidae are a family of mites which feed on thrips and other mite species. They are often used as a biological control agent for managing mite pests. Because of their usefulness as biological control agents, interest in Phytoseiidae has steadily increased over the past century. Public awareness of the biological control potential of invertebrates has been growing, though mainly in the US and Europe. In 1950, there were 34 known species. Today, there are 2,731 documented species organized in 90 genera and three subfamilies. Subfamilies The family Phytoseiidae contains these subfamilies: * Amblyseiinae Muma, 1961 * Phytoseiinae Berlese, 1916 * Typhlodrominae Scheuten, 1857 Anatomy and life cycle Phytoseiid eggs can be found along the vein of the bottom side of a leaf; They are oblong and translucent white. The larvae of these mites range from translucent white to tan in colour. They are tiny and oval in shape and size, have six legs, and are wingless. Nymphs look simil ...

Amblyseius
''Amblyseius'' is a large genus of predatory mites belonging to the family Phytoseiidae.de Moraes, G. J. (2005)Phytoseiidae Species Listing Biology Catalog, Texas A&M University. Retrieved on August 19, 2010. Many members of this genus feed on other mites such as red spider mites, and also on thrips. Several species are popular as biological control agents to control these pests. Species A * '' Amblyseius abbasovae'' Wainstein & Beglyarov, 1971 * ''Amblyseius acalyphus'' Denmark & Muma, 1973 * '' Amblyseius adhatodae'' Muma, 1967 * '' Amblyseius adjaricus'' Wainstein & Vartapetov, 1972 * '' Amblyseius aequipilus'' Berlese, 1914 * ''Amblyseius aerialis'' (Muma, 1955) * ''Amblyseius alpigenus'' Wu, 1987 * ''Amblyseius alpinia'' Tseng, 1983 * ''Amblyseius americanus'' Garman, 1948 * ''Amblyseius ampullosus'' Wu & Lan, 1991 * ''Amblyseius anacardii'' De Leon, 1967 * ''Amblyseius andersoni'' (Chant, 1957) * '' Amblyseius angulatus'' Karg, 1982 * ''Amblyseius animos'' Khan, Afzal & ...

Animals Described In 1994
Animals are multicellular, eukaryotic organisms in the biological kingdom Animalia. With few exceptions, animals consume organic material, breathe oxygen, are able to move, can reproduce sexually, and go through an ontogenetic stage in which their body consists of a hollow sphere of cells, the blastula, during embryonic development. Over 1.5 million living animal species have been described—of which around 1 million are insects—but it has been estimated there are over 7 million animal species in total. Animals range in length from to . They have complex interactions with each other and their environments, forming intricate food webs. The scientific study of animals is known as zoology. Most living animal species are in Bilateria, a clade whose members have a bilaterally symmetric body plan. The Bilateria include the protostomes, containing animals such as nematodes, arthropods, flatworms, annelids and molluscs, and the deuterostomes, containing the echino ...
