The Acari are identified in Acarology as a taxon of arachnids that contains mites and ticks. It is an example of something an acarologist would study.

Acarology (from Greek ἀκαρί/ἄκαρι, akari, a type of mite; and -λογία, -logia) is the study of mites and ticks,^[1] the animals in the order Acarina. It is a subfield of arachnology, a subdiscipline of the field of zoology. A zoologist specializing in acarology is called an acarologist. Many acarologists are studying around the world both professionally and amateur^[2]. It is a developing science and long-awaited research has been provided for it in more recent history^[2].
