Open AccessLife-history stage determines the diet of ectoparasitic mites on their honey bee hosts
Ectoparasitic mites of the genera Varroa and Tropilaelaps have evolved to exclusively exploit honey bees as food sources during alternating dispersal and reproductive life history stages. Here we show that the pr...
