Abstract
This work aims at studying convergences and divergences of microadaptations of deep soil mites and cave soil mites, with special attention on trophic behaviour and spatial and temporal repartition.This work aims at studying convergences and divergences of microadaptations of deep soil mites and cave soil mites, with special attention on trophic behaviour and spatial and temporal repartition.
