The Soil Acarology course offered in the Acarology Summer Program will make participants proficient in the identification of a broad range of mite diversity from around the world. Additionally, the course will broaden participants understanding of mite ecology, evolution, and biogeography.
Soil Acarology
This three-week workshop concentrates on the Acari associated with soil and litter. Week one will be devoted to Mesostigmata (Beaulieu & Dowling), the second week to Oribatida (Lindo & Barreto), and the third week to Endeostigmata & Prostigmata (Bolton & Fisher). The main emphasis will be on identification and systematics of both adults and immatures, but this course will have a strong secondary emphasis on ecology and life-history.
Housing Information
Housing will be on campus, just a few minutes walk from the classroom, in suite-style dormitory rooms with 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a living room, washer and dryer, and kitchen. Each participant will have their own bedroom. The apartment complex has a community center including fitness equipment. Participants may find their own housing options but will be responsible for getting themselves to the program each day.
