topology · geochronology
Mitochondrial soil-mite sampling and model-based dates do not directly observe the origin of Acari.

topology · mediumMitochondrial metagenomics samples soil-mite diversity and yields a model-based Acari topology and divergence estimates. Both topology and ages are conditional on the mitochondrial sample and clock model, not direct observations of acarine origin or global range.
