Ecology and Evolution of Gall-Inducing Arthropods: The Pattern From the Terrestrial Fossil Record
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Insect and mite galls on land plants have a spotty but periodically rich and abundant fossil record of damage types (DTs), ichnotaxa, and informally described gall morphotypes.

A Mathematical Analysis and Evaluation of Varroa mite Control Methods for a Mite-infested Honey bee Colony [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 In this paper, we present a mathematical model for the interaction between honey bees and mites. The dynamics of a mite-infested honey bee colony and the evaluation of the commonly used mite-control strategies (traditional, mechanical and chemical) are studied.

Tomato Reproductive Success Is Equally Affected by Herbivores That Induce or That Suppress Defenses
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017 Herbivory induces plant defenses. These responses are often costly, yet enable plants under attack to reach a higher fitness than they would have reached without these defenses. Spider mites (Tetranychus ssp.) are polyphagous plant-pests.
