Fungicide reduction favors the control of phytophagous mites under both organic and conventional viticulture

, 2020
Pesticides can have detrimental effects on non-target biodiversity, especially in intensively managed agroecosystems such as vineyards. However, new fungus-resistant grape varieties can greatly reduce the need and use of fungicides.

Controlling Scaphoideus titanus: are pyrethrins and phytoseids compatible?

OENO One
Mites of the family Phytoseiidae are important generalist predators in European vineyards, where they regulate phytophagous tetranychid and eriophyoid mites. As long as they are not affected by pesticides, they survive, even without prey.

Rainforest conversion to monoculture plantations restructures functional communities of braconid parasitoid wasps

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 10, October 2026.
The conversion of rainforests into rubber and oil palm plantations drives biodiversity loss in Southeast Asia. Parasitoid wasps are highly diverse and play an essential role in ecosystems by regulating herbivore populations. Declines in density and diversity of parasitoid wasps, after land‐use change is well‐documented, but potential functional losses ...

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

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 5, Page 866-874, October 2026.
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.

Diversity and recombination in Wolbachia and Cardinium from Bryobia spider mites [PDF]

, 2012
Background Wolbachia and Cardinium are endosymbiotic bacteria infecting many arthropods and manipulating host reproduction. Although these bacteria are maternally transmitted, incongruencies between phylogenies of host and parasite suggest an additional ...

Methyl Jasmonate Seed Priming Mitigates the Defence‐Growth Trade‐Off and Tailors Plant Response to Specific Pests

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 10, Page 7558-7574, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Seed defence priming is emerging as a novel, cost‐efficient and environmentally safe tool for pest management. It has been proposed as a means to uncouple the defence‐growth trade‐off in plants by enhancing defence responses with minimal fitness costs, but the mechanisms underlying this role remain elusive.

Biological control of fruit-tree red spider mite [PDF]

, 1976
During the last decade, integrated pest control systems have been developed for several crops. One of the main fields of research in integrated control has been the control of orchard pests. Experience with modified spraying programmes in apple orchards,

Invisible gems: Phylogenomics of Tetrastichinae jewel wasps (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) reveals cryptic taxa and rampant polyphyly Osynliga juveler: fylogenomiska analyser av glanssteklar i underfamiljen Tetrastichinae (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) avslöjar polyfyli och kryptiska taxa

Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 4, October‐December 2026.
Most extensive phylogenetic study of Tetrastichinae to date including a third of all currently described genera, based on 3033 BUSCOs, 1820 UCEs and 12 mitochondrial protein‐coding genes. A major taxonomic revision of the group is needed, as many tetrastichine genera are either poly‐ or paraphyletic.

Expression of a barley cystatin gene in maize enhances resistance against phytophagous mites by altering their cysteine-proteases [PDF]

, 2010
Phytocystatins are inhibitors of cysteine-proteases from plants putatively involved in plant defence based on their capability of inhibit heterologous enzymes.

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).
