Mitochondrial 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. This navigation entry is not a phylogeny or a complete taxon dossier.
Automated checks cover structure, identifiers, translations and links only; maintainer and external expert review are not complete.

claim:taxon:acariThe 410–0 Ma Acari display begins with the oldest securely accepted reviewed mite record and remains a broad fossil-to-living envelope rather than a consensus crown age.
