Research Topics
 
1. Taxonomical study of Australasian water mites
Studies have been conducted on water mites of Indonesia, New Zealand and Australia. Now mainly working on Australian water mites, collected in Northern Territory (1994), Western Australia (1994, 1998), Victoria (1997) and Tasmania (1997). In 1999 a collecting trip has been made to southern Argentina, and in 2000 to NE-Australia, New Caledonia, Fiji and New Zealand, in 2001 to South Australia and New South Wales, in 2003 to the Pacific and eastern Australia, in 2005 to the Northern Territory and Queensland, in 2008 to southern Australia (Vic, Tas, SA, WA), in 2010 to New Guinea and in 2011 to Ghana, Iran and New Guinea. In 2012 I joined a combined Dutch-Malayan expedition to Mt Kinabalu, Borneo. In 2014 I went for a long collecting trip to Queensland and New Zealand.
2. Standard work on water mites for Europe
Together with Dr C. Davids, Dr R. Gerecke, Dr A. di Sabatino and Dr T. Gledhill a new standard work is planned for Central, Western and Northern Europe. My part of the job is the genus Arrenurus, and the families Pontarachnidae, Piersigiidae, Mideidae, Acalyptonotidae, Krendowskiidae, Limnesiidae and Wettinidae. The first part has been published in 2007, the second part in 2010. The last issue, with R. Gerecke, T. Gledhill and V. Pesic as co-authors, is to be published in 2015 (or 2016).
