Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

Updates from the Acarology Lab

Nematalycidae
Sam Bolton and Hans Klompen recently published a paper entitled, Morphological support for a clade comprising two vermiform mite lineages: Eriophyoidea (Acariformes) and Nematalycidae (Acariformes). See citation below.
 
Bolton, S.J., Chetverikov, P.E. & Klompen, H. (2017) Morphological support for a clade comprising two vermiform mite lineages: Eriophyoidea (Acariformes) and Nematalycidae (Acariformes). Systematic & Applied Acarology, 22 (8), 1096-1131. http://doi.org/10.11158/saa.22.8.2 
 
This article was also featured heavily in an editorial in the same journal, and Sam wrote a commentary in Entomology Today.  He effectively united a huge lineage of plant parasites with a tiny lineages of deep soil mites to create what probably should be a new order or suborder of mites.
