Does behaviour matter? The role and feasibility of research into arthropod behavioural syndromes to inform invertebrate translocation efforts

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 5, Page 869-879, September 2025.
Animal personality plays a key role in translocation success in both wild‐to‐wild and captive‐to‐wild translocations, with important implications for the success of conservation projects. However, the majority of studies so far have explored the link between personality and translocation success in vertebrate translocations, and there has been less ...

Reproductive Structures of Female Phytoseiulus persimilis (Acari: Phytoseiidae) and the Development of Egg and Embryo in the Body

Agriculture
The Phytoseiulus persimilis specialized in preying on Tetranychus species, with particularly strong predation capability against Tetranychus urticae. To investigate the morphology of female reproductive structures and effects of different gravid times on

JA‐Mediated Regulation of Amino Acid Homeostasis Adjusts Metabolic Flux and Enhances Spider Mite Tolerance via the SlJAZ8‐SlWRKY57‐SlAVT6s Module in Tomato

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 31, August 21, 2025.
This study elucidates a novel SlJAZ8‐SlWRKY57‐SlAVT6A/SlAVT6B module that effectively channels metabolic flux from primary to secondary metabolism, impacting plant growth, development, and resistance. Two novel vacuolar amino acid exporters, SlAVT6A and SlAVT6B, fine‐tunes trichomes, terpenes, and gibberellins, bolstering spider mite resistance.

Early-life intraguild predation risk produces adaptive personalities in predatory mites

iScience
Summary: Animal personalities are defined by within-individual consistency, and consistent among-individual variation, in behavior across time and/or contexts.

Effect of temperature on the biological parameters of the predatory mite, Phytoseiulus persimilis (Mesostigmata: Phytoseiidae)

Persian Journal of Acarology
The two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae), is a major agricultural pest, and the predatory mite Phytoseiulus persimilis Athias-Henriot is one of its most effective natural enemies. Since temperature strongly influences

Ultimate Drivers and Proximate Correlates of Polyandry in Predatory Mites.

PLoS ONE, 2016
Polyandry is more widespread than anticipated from Bateman's principle but its ultimate (evolutionary) causes and proximate (mechanistic) correlates are more difficult to pinpoint than those of polygyny.

Evaluation of the impact of two citrus plants on the variation of Panonychus citri (Acari: Tetranychidae) and beneficial phytoseiid mites

Open Life Sciences
The abundance of Panonychus citri McGregor 1916 (Acari: Tetranychidae) and its associated enemies (Euseius stipulatus Athias-Henriot, 1960; Typhlodromus sp.; Phytoseiulus persimilis Athias-Henriot, 1957) was studied on two 12-year-old citrus cultivars ...

Efficacy of releases of phytoseiid mites (Acari: Phytoseiidae) on spider mite control on raspberry in high tunnel production, and implication on control strategy through a population model of Tetranychus mcdanieli (Acari: Tetranychidae)

Biological Control
Field experiments were conducted to determine the establishment and the effectiveness of certain predatory mites in controlling spider mites in raspberry grown under high tunnels. First, the efficacy of Neoseiulus fallacis and N.
