Abstract
Various aspects of reproductive behavior were investigated in the mites Dermanyssus gallinae, Ophionyssus natricis, Ornithonyssus bacoti, and Ornithonyssus sylviarum. Results of observations and experiments were compared on such topics as: the effect of mating on feeding, oviposition and longevity of the females; effect of feeding on mating; site of mating; longevity of spermatozoa in the female; and multiple mated females' effect on sex ratio of progeny.Keywords
