Oviposition behavior of the mirid Macrolophus pygmaeus under risk of intraguild predation and cannibalism [PDF]
Insect Science, 2020 AbstractZoophytophagous mirid species, that feed and develop either on prey or plant resources, are often found simultaneously on the same host. Hence, these species can engage in both intraguild predation and cannibalism, which can pose a threat to mirid eggs.

CABI Agriculture and Bioscience, 2023 Tuta absoluta and Bemisia tabaci are two key worldwide tomato pests. In response to chemical control limits, the use of zoophytophagous mirid predators as biocontrol agents is being increasingly studied and proposed for the management of these pests ...

Persian Journal of Acarology, 2022 Different host plants can affect the performance of herbivores and their natural enemies. The life history of the mirid predator, Macrolophus pygmaeus Rambur, was studied after feeding on Tetranychus urticae Koch eggs reared on the solanaceous plants ...

Pest Management Science, Volume 79, Issue 5, Page 1820-1828, May 2023., 2023 The addition of far‐red light (730 nm) increases population development of spider mite pests on tomato. However, under far‐red light conditions, the predatory mite Phytoseiulus persimilis is still able to adequately suppress spider mite numbers to similar levels as under control light. Abstract BACKGROUND The use of light‐emitting diode (LED) lights in

Pollen as an alternative or supplementary food for the mirid predator Macrolophus pygmaeus [PDF]
Biological Control, 2010 Abstract For the mass production of the mirid predator Macrolophus pygmaeus eggs of the Mediterranean flour moth Ephestia kuehniella are routinely used as an effective but expensive factitious food. In the current study, the potential of pollen as a supplementary food for M. pygmaeus was investigated.

Evidence of Cannibalism in Macrolophus pygmaeus, a Natural Enemy of Whiteflies
Journal of Insect Behavior, 2013 Cannibalism and the effects of host plant, sex, time and food resources on its expression were studied for the zoophagous mirid Macrolophus pygmaeus Wagner (Hemiptera: Miridae). Cannibalistic behaviour was studied by offering 5 conspecific larvae (first instar) to newly emerging adults. Four treatments were studied: without water, with water only, with
