Short-term fasting early in life extends lifespan in a mite Amblydromalus limonicus (Acari: Phytoseiidae) [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Dietary restriction is one of the most effective and reproducible dietary interventions known to regulate aging and increase the healthy lifespan in various model organisms, ranging from the unicellular yeast to worms, flies, rodents, and primates.

Pollen Provisioning Enhances the Performance of Amblydromalus limonicus on an Unsuitable Prey [PDF]

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Amblydromalus limonicus is a polyphagous phytoseiid predator used for the biological control of thrips and whiteflies in greenhouse crops. Besides various prey species, A. limonicus can also feed on pollen of different plants.

Chilli thrips rose management using an Amblyseius swirskii or Amblydromalus limonicus (Acari: Phytoseiidae) pepper banker plant [PDF]

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 146, Issue 10, Page 1281-1292, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Banker plant systems can enhance biological control of arthropod pests in protected agriculture if they facilitate the persistence of beneficial organisms by providing them with persistent habitats or supplemental food such as pollen or nectar.

Enhanced top-down control of herbivore population growth on plants with impaired defences. [PDF]

Funct Ecol, 2022
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Herbivore densities can be regulated by bottom‐up and top‐down forces such as plant defences and natural enemies, respectively. These forces can interact with each other to increase plant protection against herbivores; however, how much complementarity exists between ...

Pest categorisation of Eotetranychus sexmaculatus. [PDF]

EFSA J, 2023
Abstract The EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of Eotetranychus sexmaculatus (Acari: Tetranychidae), the six‐spotted spider mite, for the EU. The mite is native to North America and has spread to Asia and Oceania. It is not known to occur in the EU. The species is not listed in Annex II of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU)

Laboratory Investigations on the Potential Efficacy of Biological Control Agents on Two Thrips Species, Onion Thrips (Thrips tabaci Lindeman) and Western Flower Thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande)) [PDF]

Insects
Thrips biocontrol research in greenhouse crops has focused primarily on western flower thrips (WFT; Frankliniella occidentalis). However, recent outbreaks of onion thrips (OT; Thrips tabaci) in Ontario, Canada, demonstrate that biocontrol-based IPM ...

Cryptic Reproductive Costs of Heatwaves for Animal Populations. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
Heatwaves are among the most serious threats posed by climate change to biodiversity. They are known to cause mass mortality events in animals and to strongly affect animal reproduction. The impact of heatwaves on reproduction is crucial because it occurs across all stages, from gamete formation to offspring number and development and beyond.

High-quality alternative food reduces cannibalism in the predatory mite Amblyseius herbicolus (Acari: Phytoseiidae). [PDF]

Exp Appl Acarol, 2020
Predatory mites of the Phytoseiidae family are important biological control agents. Many species of this family are omnivores, i.e., besides on prey, they can feed on plant resources such as nectar and pollen.

Pollen provisioning attenuates pesticide side-effects on a phytoseiid predator [PDF]

Pest Management Science, Volume 80, Issue 6, Page 2619-2625, June 2024.
BACKGROUND: Biological control with predatory mites is applied against pests in greenhouse crops. Chemical control with the use of selective, reduced-risk pesticides, is an important component of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs, that often ...
