Amblyseius eharaiis a generalist predatory mite that consumes spider mites, rust mites, thrips, and pollen, with a high adaptability to various plants. To better understand ecological and behavioral aspects of this species, we investigated its functional response to different stages of two-spotted spider mite,Tetranychus urticae.

Biodiversity in mountain soils above the treeline
ABSTRACT Biological diversity in mountain ecosystems has been increasingly studied over the last decade. This is also the case for mountain soils, but no study to date has provided an overall synthesis of the current state of knowledge. Here we fill this gap with a first global analysis of published research on cryptogams, microorganisms, and fauna in ...

Ants do not prey upon an extrafloral‐nectar‐feeding predatory mite

We investigated the accidental translocation of arthropods with donor material during the establishment of a Sphagnum cultivation site. Although arthropods from 11 different orders were identified in the donor material, only Araneae, Coleoptera, and Hemiptera were found in significant numbers at the recipient site.
