Phytoseiid mites are bio-indicators of agricultural practice impact on the agroecosystem functioning: The case of weed management in citrus orchards [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
n tropical conditions, the weed management in citrus orchards is particularly problematic when the fields are not mechanized. To reduce competition between trees and weeds, the producers use herbicides in excess of the permitted annual dose, particularly

Phytoseiidae of Vietnam (Acari: Mesostigmata) with description of a new species [PDF]

open access: yesAcarologia, 2020
Vietnam is a large country of Southeast Asia and a globally recognized hotspot of biodiversity. Until recently, only limited surveys had been carried out on the resident Phytoseiidae fauna and presence of 12 species had been documented, with 11 belonging to the sub-family Amblyseiinae and 1 to the sub-family Typhlodrominae.

Selection for zoophagy influences biocontrol efficacy and fruit damage by Dicyphus hesperus in greenhouses

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 6, Page 522-531, June 2025.
Dicyphus hesperus, a zoophytophagous predator, effectively controls Bemisia tabaci in tomato greenhouses. Highly zoophagous lines rapidly reduced whitefly populations without causing significant damage to tomatoes, whereas lowly zoophagous lines were equally efficient over time but caused more damage.

Kuzinellus (Acari: Phytoseiidae) from China

open access: yesAcarologia, 2018
Two species of the genus Kuzinellus (Acari: Phytoseiidae) are known in China. We re-describe them based on types and fresh specimens and provide updated information and illustrations. It is the first time that Kuzinellus trisetus is recorded in Shanxi province.

What is the potential for artificial selection of insect biological control traits? A systematic review of their genetic variation, heritability, and evolvability

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 6, Page 463-497, June 2025.
Growing interest in optimizing biocontrol traits, particularly due to Nagoya Protocol constraints, necessitates understanding their heritability and genetic variation. This systematic review of 5209 studies on arthropod biocontrol agents yielded 94 relevant articles, with 42 providing heritability values.

More Insights into the Species Richness and Distribution of Eriophyoid Mites: A Reply to Li and Xue (2024)

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 6, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim This paper is a response to Li and Xue (2024) regarding the global species richness and distribution of the eriophyoid mites, which are highly host‐specific phytophages. Discussion The number of described plant species is approaching 400,000. This enormous level of plant diversity has played a fundamental role in the diversification of the

Biological Control of Echinothrips americanus Morgan (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) in Sweet Pepper Using the Predatory Thrips Franklinothrips vespiformis Crawford (Thysanoptera: Aeolothripidae)

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 2, Page 274-277, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Echinothrips americanus Morgan (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), also known as poinsettia thrips, has invaded several parts of the world becoming an important pest in many vegetable and ornamental crops. While biological control methods using predatory mites and bugs have been effective against flower‐dwelling thrips, they have shown limited success ...
