From Data to Knowledge to Wisdom: Lessons Learned From the Vancouver Rat Project

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
A synthesis of 15 years of research conducted by the Vancouver Rat Project revealed that: (1) Pathogen ecology within rat colonies is the result of complex interactions among rats, pathogens, and vectors. (2) Local and global population structures influence rat and pathogen ecology.

Spider mite on walnuts: Promising results obtained with three miticides tested in control experiments in infested walnut orchard at San Jose

California Agriculture, 1957
The most destructive species of spider mites—found in localities where experimental investigations were conducted in 1956—was the European red mite. Infestations of the Pacific spider mite and the two-spotted spider mite were limited and noneconomic.

Alternative Food for Litter‐Inhabiting Predators Decreases Thrips Densities and Above‐Ground Plant Damage

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
We studied predatory soil mites that control the thrips Frankliniella occidentalis. Thrips densities were significantly reduced by the predator Cosmolaelaps sabelisi. It presumably feeds on prepupae and pupae in the soil and on larvae aboveground.

Attractiveness of Melon Genotypes to Whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) Mediated by Foliar Morphological and Biochemical Traits

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
This study identifies melon genotypes resistant to Bemisia tabaci by integrating morphological and biochemical leaf traits. Using free‐choice and no‐choice assays, we demonstrate that resistance is primarily mediated by antixenosis. Genotypes CNPH 11‐1071‐43, CNPH 06‐1047‐343, CNPH 13‐1076, and BG MEL 16 significantly reduced whitefly settling and ...

Seasonal dynamics and environmental influences of phytophagous mites infesting tomato and pepper crops [PDF]

Archives of Agriculture Sciences Journal
The population dynamics of phytophagous mites infesting tomato and pepper plants in Qena Governorate, Egypt, were investigated over two consecutive seasons (2021/2022 and 2022/2023).

Inducible tomato defences persist in detached leaves, despite differential plant variety and gene‐dependent expression

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Short‐ and long‐term expression of PPO‐D, PI‐IIc and PR‐1a were assessed in intact plants and detached tomato leaves of two varieties infested with Tetranhycus urticae. Tomato defences were induced in both intact and detached leaves, but the induction levels varied with plant variety and gene assessed.

Fig mosaic transmitted by mite: First tree virus demonstrated to be transmitted by a mite found in studies on relationship of fig mite to fig mosaic

California Agriculture, 1957
The fig mite—Aceria ficus (Cotte) — was shown to transmit fig mosaic virus in experiments set up to determine whether or not mosaic symptoms would persist on fig plants in the absence of fig mite infestations.

Improving Decision‐Making in the Identification of Tephritidae Larvae at Import in the European Union and Key to Third Instar Larvae

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Tephritidae family, or true fruit flies, comprises approximately 250 species recognized as economically significant due to their capacity to infest commercial fruits. These pests pose serious threats to both food security and trade, and are considered quarantine pests in areas where they are not yet established. In the European Union (EU),

Mite Control and Sensory Evaluations of Dry-Cured Hams with Food-Grade Coatings

Meat and Muscle Biology, 2017
The ham mite, (Schrank; Sarcoptiformes: Acaridae), is the predominant pest of dry-cured pork during aging. This research was conducted 1) to determine the minimal concentrations of propylene glycol necessary for food grade coatings to control mites; and
