eDNA metabarcoding of avocado flowers: ‘Hass’ it got potential to survey arthropods in food production systems?

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 23, Issue 7, Page 1540-1555, October 2023., 2023
Abstract In the face of global biodiversity declines, surveys of beneficial and antagonistic arthropod diversity as well as the ecological services that they provide are increasingly important in both natural and agro‐ecosystems. Conventional survey methods used to monitor these communities often require extensive taxonomic expertise and are time ...

Host Specialization in Plant-galling Interactions: Contrasting Mites and Insects

open access: yesDiversity, 2019
Galling arthropods represent one of the most specialized herbivore groups. On an evolutionary scale, different taxa of insects and mites have convergently adapted to a galling lifestyle.

Notes on the adaptation of some phytophagous and predacious mites to various ecological parameters in the Mediterranean countries [PDF]

open access: yesWeb Ecology, 2000
Notes on the adaptation to various habitats, climatic conditions, life-cycles, dispersion as well as on some morpho-physiological ones of the main phytophagous (Tetranychidae and Eriophyidae) and predaceous (Phytoseiidae) mites typical of the ...

Environmental DNA metabarcoding from flowers reveals arthropod pollinators, plant pests, parasites, and potential predator–prey interactions while revealing more arthropod diversity than camera traps

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 5, Issue 3, Page 551-569, May 2023., 2023
We deployed camera traps to document arthropod activity on specific flowers, sampled eDNA from those same flowers, then performed a metabarcoding analysis that targets a partial fragment of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene (COI) to determine all arthropod eDNA present.

Enhanced top‐down control of herbivore population growth on plants with impaired defences

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 36, Issue 11, Page 2859-2872, November 2022., 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 ...

Airborne pollen can affect the abundance of predatory mites in vineyards: implications for conservation biological control strategies

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 78, Issue 5, Page 1963-1975, May 2022., 2022
Artificial pollen supply, flowering hedgerows and groundcover vegetation guarantee high pollen flow for predatory mites in vineyards. These practices should be relevant factors for integrated pest management strategies in viticulture. © 2022 The Authors.

Eriophyoid mites (Acari: Prostigmata: Eriophyoidea) from the Maltese Islands (Central Mediterranean): new reports and a preliminary check-list [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
In the 20th Century, about 20 species of eriophyoids were listed for the Maltese Islands but these reports were entirely based on plant gall surveys.

Population growth rate of dry bulb mite, Aceria tulipae (Acariformes: Eriophyidae), on agriculturally important plants and implications for its taxonomic status [PDF]

open access: hybrid, 2017
Dry bulb mite (DBM), Aceria tulipae, is an economically important mite with a worldwide distribution and a broad host range. As a generalist, it is the most important eriophyoid mite attacking bulbous plants such as garlic, onion and tulip.

New contribution to the eriophyoid (Acari: Eriophyidae) fauna of Iran [PDF]

open access: yesZoology and Ecology, 2014
Four eriophyoid species were identified as new records for the Iranian fauna from South Khorasan province. These species are Aceria sobhiani Sukhareva, Aceria medicaginis (Keifer) (Eriophyinae: Acerini), Aculops cannabicola (Farkas) and Aculus anthobius (Nalepa) (Phyllocoptinae: Anthocoptini).

Description of a new eriophyid species from Hungary (Acari: Acariformes: Eriophyidae)

open access: yesFolia Entomologica Hungarica, 2021
A new species of eriophyid mites, Aceria bassicola sp. n. (Acari: Acariformes: Eriophyoidea: Eriophyidae), collected from Bassia prostrata (L.) Beck (Amaranthaceae), is described from Hungary based on females, males and nymphs.
