From the reviews: "Saito's book should be of appeal to students learning about and researchers working on animal behavior and behavioral ecology, especially those interested in the evolution of cooperative behaviors and social organization. It may also be of interest to researchers working in pest management ... . Saito's book gives a fascinating glimpse of how wonderful the life of mites can be and should stimulate many of its readers to focus in their research on mites and pick up and dive into topics related to behavioral ecology."--- (Peter Schausberger, Experimental and Applied Acarology, Vol. 52, October, 2010)
