Orlando Cómbita-Heredia studies mites, particularly the suborder Uropodina and related Mesostigmata groups, focusing on their taxonomy, internal anatomy, and biology, including their associations with dung beetles. Work also includes a broader meta-analysis on how biological invasions affect environmental microbial communities. The research combines classical taxonomic description with advanced imaging techniques like synchrotron-based micro-CT scanning to study internal morphology.
