Predation Under Heat Stress: The Significance of Body Size to the Outcome of an Acarine Predator–Prey Interaction

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
(A) The predator Phytoseiulus persimilis and its prey Tetranychus urticae were reared under mild or extreme heat waves from egg to adulthood, which resulted in asymmetrical thermal shifts of adult body sizes in favour of prey under extreme heat waves. (B) Single couples of adult predators and prey, reared under mild heat waves interacted at mild heat ...

Tiny predators avoid herbivorous caterpillar traces to prevent accidental predation

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract We report the first example of predators having a strategy to avoid accidental predation by herbivorous insects. The predatory mites Neoseiulus womersleyi and Euseius sojaensis are smaller than 0.5 mm and lay eggs on plant leaf surfaces; thus, their immobile eggs would be incidentally consumed along with leaves by voracious lepidopteran ...

Breeding cold‐tolerant Orius laevigatus lines improves thermal tolerance and body size: implications for biological control

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 4, Page 3011-3018, April 2026.
Biological control agents performance is influenced by temperature. Two cold‐tolerant lines of O. loevigatus were developed, improving their fitness at both low and high temperatures, offering advantages far augmentative biological control. Abstract BACKGROUND The performance of biological control agents (BCAs) is strongly influenced by environmental ...

Chrysoperla externa (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) as a Potential Biological Control Agent of Raoiella indica (Acari: Tenuipalpidae)

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 4, Page 335-342, April 2026.
First and third instar Chrysoperla externa showed efficient predatory capacity at low R. indica density, but second instar C. externa exhibits a density‐dependent predatory ability. The lacewing C. externa shows promise as a biocontrol agent for R. indica in coconut because it consumed 8362 R. indica females across all its larval instars.

Molecular biology for Phytoseiidae identification: preliminary results

open access: yes, 2008
The Phytoseiidae has stirred a great interest since the 1950's as the role of a few efficient species in the biological control of tetranychid mites has been emphasized.
