Research summary
AI-generated

Hans Klompen works on the taxonomy and systematics of mites (Acari), describing and classifying new species and genera across diverse groups such as Mesostigmata, Opilioacarida, and Prostigmata. Much of this research documents mite diversity worldwide, including parasitic mites found on birds, geckos, and other hosts, as well as free-living and cave-dwelling species. This type of work contributes to the foundational catalog of biodiversity used in ecology, parasitology, and evolutionary biology.
