Pavel B. Klimov studies mites (a group of tiny arachnids), covering their evolution, classification, fossil history, and biology. His work spans naming new mite species (including from amber fossils millions of years old), reconstructing mite family trees using DNA, and investigating how bacteria living inside mites (symbionts) affect mite biology and allergen production relevant to human allergies. Prospective students would work on topics blending taxonomy, evolutionary biology, microbiology, and paleontology of mites.
Publication output has fluctuated over the last decade, peaking around 2019 and 2021, with a more moderate but still active output of 12-14 papers per year in 2024-2025.
