Description
Phoretic mites were removed from beetle hosts using focused carbon dioxide gas delivered through a pipette tip, which temporarily incapacitated both mites and beetles for counting and size classification.
Typical Equipment
- carbon dioxide
- pipette tip
Output Measurements
- mite abundance per host
- mite size class distribution
