Learned predation risk management by spider mites [PDF]
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2014 Predation is a prime selective force shaping prey behavior. Investment in anti-predator behavior is traded-off against time and energy for other fitness-enhancing activities such as foraging or reproduction.

Water mite predation on zooplankton of a tropical lake [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2002 Water mite (Krendowskia sp.) predation on zooplanktonic species from Lake Monte Alegre (São Paulo State, Brazil) was tested in laboratory experiments. One cladoceran, Daphnia gessneri, two copepods, Tropocyclops prasinus and Thermocyclops decipiens, and ...

Anystid mite: Citrus thrips predator
California Agriculture, 1975 An anystid mite, Anystis agilis (Banks) (Acarine: Anystidae) has been observed feeding on larval and adult citrus thrips, Scirtothrips citri (Moulton) in orange groves in River-side and Ventura counties.

Spider mite web mediates anti-predator behaviour [PDF]
Experimental and Applied Acarology, 2010 Herbivores suffer significant mortality from predation and are therefore subject to natural selection on traits promoting predator avoidance and resistance. They can employ an array of strategies to reduce predation, for example through changes in behaviour, morphology and life history.

Adaptive aggregation by spider mites under predation risk [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 AbstractGrouping together is a commonly observed anti-predator strategy. Possible anti-predator benefits of aggregation include the encounter/avoidance effect for visually hunting predators and the dilution effect, together dubbed attack abatement. Possible costs opposing the dilution effect are easier detection of aggregated than scattered individuals.

Predatory mites protect own eggs against predators [PDF]
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, 2021 AbstractPredators frequently compete with other species for prey but can also interact by preying on each other’s vulnerable stages. Because eggs and juveniles are more vulnerable to this intraguild predation than adults, their survival will depend on maternal strategies to reduce predation risk.

Coincidental intraguild predation by caterpillars on spider mites [PDF]
Experimental and Applied Acarology, 2012 Intraguild predation (IGP) is defined as the killing and eating of prey species by a predator that also can utilize the resources of the prey. It is mainly reported among carnivores that share common herbivorous prey. However, a large chewing herbivore could prey upon sedentary and/or micro herbivores in addition to utilizing a host plant.

Majallah-i ḥifāẓat-i giyāhān, 2017 Introduction: The spider mite, Oligonychus afrasiaticus feeds by sucking the sap from the immature fruits tissue. The natural color of fruits changes to pale yellow or gray by mite's feeding.
