Extended depth of focus ultraviolet imaging compared with laser scanning confocal microscopy for the study of micro- Arthropoda surface texture, with the description of a new species of Brachypodopsis (Acari: Hydrachnidia)

Visualization and representation are two processes at the core of basic biodiversity studies. Visualization involves the examination, sorting, and evaluation of similarities and differences among specimens by specialists who then assign them to the same or different species. It is a cognitive proces...

In this work, I describe a new species of water mite, Brachypodopsis guillermoi n. sp.
