Declining or Waning
- Traditional Pest Control Methods:
There has been a noticeable decrease in studies solely focused on conventional chemical pest control methods for mites, as researchers increasingly favor integrated pest management approaches that consider ecological impacts. - General Mite Surveys:
While general biodiversity surveys of mite populations were previously common, there is now a trend towards more targeted studies that focus on specific genera or ecological roles, leading to fewer broad surveys being published. - Historical Taxonomic Studies:
Research centered around historical taxonomic classifications without new data or insights has become less frequent, as the field moves towards more data-driven and molecular approaches to taxonomy.
