書籍介紹
The Phytoseiidae are among the best-known mite families, with more than 2,700 recorded species worldwide. Some of those phytoseiids are used as biocontrol agents to fight agricultural pests. But in order to study their potential, it has become urgent to first establish a reliable Taxonomy of Phytoseiidae. This book presents a general review of the classification and external morphology of the family Phytoseiidae in Taiwan and neighboring islands. Between 2009 and 2019, more than 20,000 specimens were gathered over the course of 2,500 collections. This book focuses on 64 species belonging to three subfamilies and fourteen genera, among which are five novel species and eight newly-recorded species; it provides their descriptions and illustrations, as well as information on their habitat plants and food habits.

Jhih-Rong Liao (廖治榮)
Dr. Jhih-Rong Liao is a post-doctoral fellow at National Taiwan University, Taiwan, who has a deep interest in mite taxonomy (Phytoseiidae) and the identification of mites using artificial intelligence. Liao fell in love with Acarology when he was first introduced to the study of these beautiful creatures, back in 2008. Upon learning about the high demand for mite experts in Taiwan, he started to dedicate himself to the taxonomy of Phytoseiidae, He already published various numbers of papers (18 full-text) in international SCI-E journals during his Ph.D. In these papers, he described 5 new phytoseiid species and re-described 5 new records from Taiwan. Besides, he also described 11 new oribatid species and re-described 66 new records from Taiwan. His life-long goal is to educate the public on mites, contribute to fundamental research (e.g. mite identification) for plant protection, and just keep studying those fascinating animals for the rest of his life.
廖治榮博士現職為國立臺灣大學博士後研究員，針對蟎類分類學（植綏蟎科） 研究，與應用人工智慧鑑定蟎類有極大之興趣。廖博士最早對於此種微為小動物的興趣可以追溯到2008年仍就讀大學階段，爾後他發現我國對於蟎類專家有極大的需求，廖博士便開始投身於植綏蟎科分類學研究，迄今逾十年。截至目前為止，他共發表16篇SCI期刊報告，其中6篇為第一作者，並發表5新種與 5種新紀錄種植綏蟎，同時也發表11新種與66新紀錄種甲蟎。廖博士的終身志願是希望能將此種小型生物介紹給大眾，同時對於基礎性的研究（如蟎類鑑定）與植物保護提供貢獻，並在未來繼續的研究此種迷人的小生物。
