Preface -- What's "cool" on eriophyoid mites? -- Behavioural studies on eriophyoid mites: an overview -- Plant-eriophyoid mite interactions: cellular biochemistry and metabolic responses induced in mite-injured plants. Part I -- Plant-eriophyoid mite interactions: specific and unspecific morphological alterations. Part II -- Host-plant specificity and specialization in eriophyoid mites and their importance for the use of eriophyoid mites as biocontrol agents of weeds -- Effectiveness of eriophyid mites for biological control of weedy plants and challenges for future research -- The impact of eriophyoids on crops: recent issues on Aculus schlechtendali, Calepitrimerus vitis and Aculops lycopersici -- An insight into some relevant aspects concerning eriophyoid mites inhabiting forests, ornamental trees and shrubs -- The role of eriophyoids in fungal pathogen epidemiology, mere association or true interaction? -- The control of eriophyoid mites: state of the art and future challenges -- Adventive eriophyoid mites: a global review of their impact, pathways, prevention and challenges -- DNA-based methods for eriophyoid mite studies: review, critical aspects, prospects and challenges -- Collection and detection of eriophyoid mites -- Recommended procedures and techniques for morphological studies of Eriophyoidea (Acari: Prostigmata).
