Editorial: Plant Responses to Phytophagous Mites/Thrips and Search for Resistance. [PDF]
Phytophagous mites and thrips are global pests affecting a wide range of agricultural crops (Mouden et al., 2017; Agut et al., 2018). Among the arthropods, they are phylogenetically distant, but both classes harbor species ranging from highly specialized to extremely polyphagous (Rioja et al., 2017; Wu et al., 2018). Through convergent evolution, mites

Phytophagous mites transmitting plant viruses: update and perspectives [PDF]
Plant viruses can be effectively transmitted by phytophagous mites. Many species of mites, mainly criophyids and tenuipalpids, induce symptoms in infested plants that may be mistaken for viral diseases or may hide infections produced by unidentified putative viruses.

An acaricide-treated net to control phytophagous mites
Abstract A new technique to control phytophagous mites was tested in West Africa on the African eggplant Solanum macrocarpon. This technique consisted of covering plants with a net impregnated with the acaricide dicofol. The net was applied during the night to protect the net fabric and the active ingredient from UV degradation and to avoid ...

Between Mosses and Microbes: Stable Isotopes (<sup>15</sup>N/<sup>14</sup>N, <sup>13</sup>C/<sup>12</sup>C) Clarify the Trophic Niches of Oribatid Mites on a High-Arctic Permafrost Archipelago (Svalbard, Norway). [PDF]
Using stable isotopes (15N, 13C) we identified four trophic groups of oribatid mites (phytophagous, secondary decomposers, predators/scavengers and lichen feeders) on Svalbard; primary decomposers were missing, pointing to low litter quality. Most oribatid mite taxa were boreal/tundra habitat specialists with strong sclerotization which likely improves

Wolbachia–induced parthenogenesis in a genus of phytophagous mites [PDF]
The vertically transmitted endosymbiotic bacterium Wolbachia modifies host reproduction in several ways in order to enhance its own spread. One such modification results in the induction of parthenogenesis, where males, which are unable to transmit Wolbachia, are not produced.
