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.

The effect of mating experience, age and territoriality on the male mating competition in Phytoseiulus persimilis and Neoseiulus californicus (Acari: Phytoseiidae)

Persian Journal of Acarology, 2015
Male competition to fertilize the eggs of females would result in conflicts between the members of one sex and evolution of secondary behavioral and morphological characters. Here, we investigated the effect of previous mating experience, territoriality

Assessment of Bioassay Techniques and Residual Effect of Certain Acaricides against the Two Spotted Spider Mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch and The Predatory Mite, Phytoseiulus persimilis Athias-Henriot [PDF]

Acarines: Journal of the Egyptian Society of Acarology, 2013
Experiments were conducted in the laboratory and the greenhouse to assess the effects of five acaricides against Tetranychus urticae Koch and its natural enemy Phytoseiulus persimilis Athias-Henriot.

Competitive Interactions Between Generalist Predators and Their Effects on Shared and Non‐Shared Pests in a Greenhouse Crop

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 8, Page 831-841, August 2026.
Orius laevigatus engages in unidirectional intraguild predation on Transeius montdorensis. Despite this, both predators coexisted and suppressed the shared thrips prey. Aphids, a non‐shared prey, were effectively controlled by O. laevigatus even when its population was limited due to intraguild predation. T.

Hairy Roadblock: Stem Trichomes Impede Herbivore Movement in a Species and Instar‐Dependent Manner

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 6, Page 728-735, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Plants have evolved to deploy a vast set of defence mechanisms against insect herbivores, including physical barriers like leaf trichomes with pre and post ingestive effects. Yet, the role of stem trichomes in plant‐herbivore interactions, particularly mobility dynamics, is poorly understood.

Predaceous Mite Controls Two-Spotted Spider Mite on Strawberry

California Agriculture, 1965
Biological control of the two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae, Koch, on strawberry was obtained with mass releases of the predaceous mite Phytoseiulus persimilis Athias-Henriot, during preliminary studies in the coastal area of southern ...

Feeding preference of Phytoseiulus persimilis Athias-Henriot (Acari: Phytosei-idae) towards untreated and Beauveria bassiana-treated Tetranychus urticae (Acari: Tetranychidae) on cucumber leaves

Persian Journal of Acarology, 2014
Determination of the host preference of predatory mites when receiving signals related to either untreated and Beauveria bassiana-treated Tetranychus urticae (Acari: Tetranychidae) is important in predicting the predatory mite’s reaction when ...

ALTERNATIVE SAFETY METHODS IN SUPPRESSING THE POPULATION OF TWO SPOTTED SPIDER MITE Tetranychus urticae KOCH INFESTING SOYBEAN PLANTS AT THE NEW RECLAIMED LANDS, NUBARIA PROVINCE EGYPT. [PDF]

Journal of Plant Protection and Pathology, 2007
             Three field experiments were conducted during the season 2006, at the private farm at Nubaria region: the first trial included releasing the predatory mite Phytoseiulus persimilis (A.-H.) with rate of 15-20 mites / hill.

Spider Mites: Genetic Models to Inform Herbivore and Chelicerate Biology

BioEssays, Volume 48, Issue 5, May 2026.
Chelicerates include spiders, scorpions and ticks, and also spider mites that damage crops. Many of the features that make spider mites crop pests have facilitated their adoption as genetically tractable chelicerates. The expanding genetic toolkit developed using spider mites has potential to inform genetic studies in other chelicerates as well ...
