Antonio Berlese
Antonio Berlese (26 June 1863, in Padua – 24 October 1927, in Florence) was an Italian entomologist. Career Berlese worked on pest insects notably of fruit trees. He published over 300 articles and a book ''Gli insetti loro organizzazione, sviluppo, abitudini e rapporti con l’uomo'' (in two volumes, 1909 and 1925); also a series entitled ''Acari, Myriapoda et Scorpiones hucusque in Italie reperta'' which appeared in 101 numbers between 1882 et 1903 and which contained over 1,000 figures by Berlese himself. He was a specialist in Hemiptera Coccoidea. With his brother, Augusto Napoleone Berlese (1864–1903), a plant and mushroom disease specialist, he founded the ''Revista di Patologia vegetale'' in 1892. In 1899, he became Director of the Istituto Sperimentale per la Zoologia Agraria. In 1903 he founded the review ''Redia,'' which he edited until his death. This publication promoted zoological studies in agriculture, forestry, and in urban contexts, with an emphasis on entom ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Acari
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 predators or 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 distinct groups of arachni ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
