Response of Amblyseius swirskii to deltamethrin. [PDF]
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.

Effects of timed LED regimes on tomato plant traits, performance of two-spotted spider mites, and predatory mites (Phytoseiulus persimilis). [PDF]
Light‐emitting diode (LED)‐based treatments for enhancing crop production and pest management have primarily focused on continuous treatments. This study, using Tetranychus urticae and Phytoseiulus persimilis, demonstrates that the timing of LED supplementation is crucial for designing integrated pest management strategies that improve both plant ...
