Arthur Paul Jacot was an American naturalist, primarily recognized as a pioneering acarologist and arachnologist rather than just an ornithologist. While he began his early career participating in amateur bird counts and published brief ornithological notes, his enduring scientific legacy is his monumental work on soil-dwelling oribatid mites (moss mites).
