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

Biology, 2022 Theoretically, parents can adjust vital offspring traits to the irregular and rapid occurrence of heat waves via developmental plasticity. However, the direction and strength of such trait modifications are often species-specific.
