Mites Inhabit Fig Trees at Menoufia Governorate with Control of Phytophagous Mites [PDF]

Acarines: Journal of the Egyptian Society of Acarology, 2014
In a field survey, Aceria fictis, Tetranychtis urticae and the predator, Phytoseius finitimtis, were registered on fig trees from mid of March 2013 to mid of January 2014. A. fiicus population reached its peak at mid September with mean number of 29.05 individuals/leaf. T. iirticne at the end of August with mean number of 10.9 individuals/leaf, whereas

A conceptual model for the diapause intensity curve and termination in overwintering Japanese pine sawyer larvae, Monochamus alternatus (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae)

Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.
Larval diapause intensity of Monochamus alternatus follows a declining curve, beginning with an initial refractory phase and reaching termination after approximately 110 days of chilling at 9°C. Residual inhibitory state strongly influenced post‐chilling development; additional chilling shortened the diapause period more at 18°C than at warmer ...

Mechanisms of Aristolochic Acid Resistance in Specialist Butterflies and Evolutionary Insights for Potential Protective Pathways

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 19, 2 April 2026.
The study provides an extreme example of insect adaptation to highly toxic defenses of host plants, and investigates the complex strategies to resist carcinogenic aristolochic acids, including physical isolation, metabolic detoxification, and DNA repair.

An acaricide-treated net to control phytophagous mites

Crop Protection, 2010
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 ...

Selective leaf surface defenses: trichomes trap herbivorous leafminers but spare parasitoid wasps

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 4, Page 4016-4025, April 2026.
Hooked trichomes on kidney bean leaves selectively entrap leafminer flies but rarely affect parasitoid wasps. This morphological barrier enables pest suppression with minimal impact on beneficial insects, offering insights for breeding pest‐resistant cultivars compatible with biological control. Abstract BACKGROUND Leafminers [e.g., Liriomyza trifolii (

Habitat Modification by Grazing Lawns Reduces Soil Mite Diversity in a South African National Park

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 64, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil mesofauna are an integral part of the functioning of an ecosystem. They are relatively small in body size, occur in varying habitats and operate in a range of ecological niches. Soil mites are quite sensitive to changes in their environment and contribute to several important ecosystem services in their environments.
