Evaluating predatory arthropods for the biological control of the invasive Thrips parvispinus (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) in greenhouse sweet pepper

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8448-8458, September 2026.
This study shows that Orius laevigatus, alone or with other predators, consistently achieved the highest suppression of Thrips parvispinus and improved plant productivity. Franklinothrips vespiformis coexisted with O. laevigatus, suggesting compatibility, while Amblyseius swirskii declined, indicating incompatibility. Individually, F. vespiformis and A.

Dietary restriction induces persistent multigenerational phenotypic effects in Phytoseiulus persimilis

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8725-8733, September 2026.
The study shows ancestral dietary restriction in Phytoseiulus persimilis produces persistent, sex‐specific, multi‐generational effects on survival and body size, with stronger maternal than paternal lineage influences despite nutritional recovery. Abstract BACKGROUND Transgenerational phenotypic plasticity (TGP) allows environmental effects to persist ...

Predator egg‐induced non‐consumptive effects suppress spider mite survival and reproductive performance

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 9343-9351, September 2026.
Increasing predation intensity of predatory mite significantly reduced spider mite fitness in terms of shorter mother longevity, lower mother fecundity, longer offspring development, lower offspring survival, and lower population growth. Abstract BACKGROUND Predators suppress pest populations not only through direct consumption but also via non ...

Alternative Food for Litter‐Inhabiting Predators Decreases Thrips Densities and Above‐Ground Plant Damage

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 9, Page 1126-1134, September 2026.
We studied predatory soil mites that control the thrips Frankliniella occidentalis. Thrips densities were significantly reduced by the predator Cosmolaelaps sabelisi. It presumably feeds on prepupae and pupae in the soil and on larvae aboveground.

New mite species associated with certain plant species from Guam

Journal of Entomological and Acarological Research, 2011
Several new mite species have been reported from certain plants from Guam. Most remarkably, the spider mite, Tetranychus marianae (Prostigmata: Tetranychidae) and the predatory mite Phytoseius horridus (Mesostigmata: Phytoseiidae) (Solanum melongena ...
