[Dermal glands of water mites (Acariformes: Parasitengona: Hydrachnidia) and their possible eco-physiological significance].
Functional and comparative morphology is the basis for investigation of animal kingdom, its diversity and possible evolution. Moreover, it is extremely valuable in understanding of functioning of the living systems in unity of their organ and tissue structures. In the present paper, the organization of dermal glands and their possible eco-physiological role in the life of adult water mites are analyzed on the basis of the available data and original investigations from the point of view of fundamental functional-morphological approaches in the study of various groups of arthropods developed by Prof. Yu.S. Balashov.
