Stronger Antipredatory Vigilance of Prey to Olfactory Cues From Injured Vulnerable Conspecifics [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionPredation risk is a key evolutionary force shaping prey behaviors and life‐history strategies across taxa. Predators often target vulnerable life stages of prey, but how prey females adjust their reproductive strategies in response to cues from injured ...

Niche Modeling May Explain the Historical Population Failure of Phytoseiulus persimilis in Taiwan: Implications of Biocontrol Strategies [PDF]
Insects, 2021 Biological control commonly involves the commercialization and introduction of natural enemies. Phytoseiulus persimilis Athias-Henriot, a mite species widely used in the control of spider mites, was imported to Taiwan in the 1990s and was mass-reared and

Mint companion plants attract the predatory mite Phytoseiulus persimilis. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2019 AbstractMint plants could theoretically serve as companion plants (CPs) that attract enemies of herbivores in tritrophic interactions. In order to explore the traits of mint volatiles as attractant cues for enemies of two-spotted spider mites, we performed Y-tube olfactometer assays of predatory mites, Phytoseiulus persimilis and Neoseiulus ...

Effects of Short-Term Heat Stress on the Development, Reproduction, and Demographic Parameters of Phytoseiulus persimilis (Acari: Phytoseiidae) [PDF]
InsectsTemperature is a critical factor affecting the development and population dynamics of many organisms. An organism’s ability to withstand extreme temperature events, such as heat waves, will become increasingly important as the severity, duration, and ...

Balancing in- and out-breeding by the predatory mite Phytoseiulus persimilis. [PDF]
Exp Appl Acarol, 2018 In- and out-breeding depressions are commonly observed phenomena in sexually reproducing organisms with a patchy distribution pattern, and spatial segmentation and/or isolation of groups. At the genetic level, inbreeding depression is due to increased homozygosity, whereas outbreeding depression is due to inferior genetic compatibility of mates ...

Parental and personal experience drive personality formation and individual niche diversification in group-living mites [PDF]
iScienceSummary: The idea of individual niche specialization suggests that individuals should diversify in their realized niches to mitigate inter-individual conflict.

Social familiarity governs prey patch-exploitation, -leaving and inter-patch distribution of the group-living predatory mite Phytoseiulus persimilis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 BackgroundIn group-living animals, social interactions and their effects on other life activities such as foraging are commonly determined by discrimination among group members.

Early-life intraguild predation risk produces adaptive personalities in predatory mites [PDF]
iScienceSummary: Animal personalities are defined by within-individual consistency, and consistent among-individual variation, in behavior across time and/or contexts.
