Samuel J. Bolton studies mites and other arthropods, focusing on their classification, evolutionary relationships, and anatomy. Much of the work involves describing and redescribing mite species (especially predatory phytoseiid mites and gall-forming eriophyoid mites) and using morphological and genomic data to clarify how different mite and arthropod groups are related to one another on the tree of life.
