Beskrivning

During the Inaugural Meeting of the European Association of Acarol ogists (EURAAC), held in Amsterdam in 1987, it was decided that the holding of a Symposium at regular intervals should be a major objective. The remaining 51 contributions were offered papers a number of which fit within the framework of the Symposium theme.
