Diet-Induced Developmental and Morphological Plasticity in a Thelytokous Predatory Mite <i>Amblyseius herbicolus</i> (Chant) (Acari: Phytoseiidae). [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study investigated how variation in prey consumption influences immature development and adult morphometric traits in the predatory mite Amblyseius herbicolus. Mites that ate more prey attained a larger size at maturity but did not develop more rapidly. Several morphometric traits were also significantly influenced by diet.

Stronger Antipredatory Vigilance of Prey to Olfactory Cues From Injured Vulnerable Conspecifics. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Eggs of spider mites are more vulnerable to predators. Reproductive females of spider mites are more vigilant to olfactory cues from injured eggs compared to that from injured adults and deutonymphs. ABSTRACT Predation risk is a key evolutionary force shaping prey behaviors and life‐history strategies across taxa. Predators often target vulnerable life

Response of Amblyseius swirskii to deltamethrin. [PDF]

Pest Manag Sci
The analysis of toxicological and molecular data reveals target‐site as well as metabolic modifications associated with the resistance to deltamethrin in Amblyseius swirskii colonies. However, semi‐field assays show increased run‐off behavior after treatments with the same pesticide.

Verified and potential pathogens of predatory mites (Acari: Phytoseiidae) [PDF]

, 2008
Several species of phytoseiid mites (Acari: Phytoseiidae), including species of the genera Amblyseius, Galendromus, Metaseiulus, Neoseiulus, Phytoseiulus and Typhlodromus, are currently reared for biological control of various crop pests and/or as model ...

Effects of agroforestry on Phytoseiidae communities (Acari: Mesostigmata) in vineyards. A synthesis of a 10-year period of observations [PDF]

, 2015
Several species of the predatory mite family Phytoseiidae are of major economic importance for biological pest control in crops, including grapevines. Plant diversification in agrosystems is reported to enhance useful biodiversity and provide ecosystem ...

A new method for the release of Amblyseius andersoni (Acari: Phytoseiidae) in young apple orchards

European Journal of Entomology, 2013
The use of phytoseiid species in biological plant protection is widespread. However, the techniques used to release them differ. The possible release of Amblyseius andersoni (Chant, 1959) using a new method was tested.

Temperature-Dependent Shifts in Multiple Indirect Defensive Interactions on Black Cherry. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study examined how temperature mediates multiple tri‐trophic defensive interactions involving black cherry (Prunus serotina) seedlings. Warmer temperatures altered the strength of some interactions—modifying the relationships between leaf domatia, mutualistic domatia‐dwelling mites, and foliar fungi—while other relationships, like the interactions

Matching commercial thrips predating phytoseids with the highly diversified climatic conditions of different strawberry production systems [PDF]

, 2017
Flower inhabiting thrips (Order: Thysanoptera) are a major threat to fruit quality in strawberry production around the world. As chemical control is often inefficient, alternative control measures are of broad and current interest.
