The study of tick evolution may be classified into disciplines such as taxonomy and systematics, biogeography, evolution and development (evo-devo), ecology, and hematophagy. These disciplines overlap and impact each other to various extents. Advances in one field may lead to paradigm shifts in our understanding of tick evolution not apparent to other fields. The current study considers paradigm shifts that occurred, are in the process, or may occur in future for the disciplines that study tick evolution. Some disciplines have undergone significant changes, while others may still be developing their own paradigms. Integration of these various disciplines is essential to come to a holistic view of tick evolution; however, maturation of paradigms may be necessary before this vision can be attained.
蜱类进化研究可分为分类学与系统学、生物地理学、进化与发育（演化发育生物学）、生态学以及吸血习性等学科领域。这些学科在不同程度上相互重叠且相互影响。一个领域的进展可能会引发我们对蜱类进化理解的范式转变，而其他领域可能对此并不明显。本研究探讨了在蜱类进化研究的各学科中已经发生、正在发生或未来可能发生的范式转变。一些学科已经经历了重大变革，而其他学科可能仍在形成自身的范式。整合这些不同学科对于全面理解蜱类进化至关重要；然而，在实现这一愿景之前，范式的成熟可能是必要的。
