FIGURE 2: SEM-micrographs – juxtaposition of typical intertidal and typical terrestrial oribatid mites, showing no obvious differences (excepting tarsal claws much more prominent in intertidal species): A – Alismobates inexpectatus, inhabitant of rocky intertidal shores (Western Atlantic); B – Scutovertex ianus, found in moss (Central Europe).Published as part of Pfingstl, Tobias, 2017, The marine-associated lifestyle of ameronothroid mites (Acari, Oribatida) and its evolutionary origin: a review, pp. 693-721 in Acarologia 57 (3) on page 698, DOI: 10.24349/acarologia/20174197, http://zenodo.org/record/539479
