Bivariate stochastic modeling of functional response with natural mortality [PDF]
A correction due to Abbott (1925) is the standard method of dealing with control mortality in insect bioassay to estimate the mortality of an insect conditional on control mortality not having occurred.

Nonlinear functional response parameter estimation in a stochastic predator-prey model
Parameter estimation for the functional response of predator-prey systems is a critical methodological problem in population ecology. In this paper we consider a stochastic predator-prey system with non-linear Ivlev functional response and propose a ...

New mite species associated with certain plant species from Guam
Several new mite species have been reported from certain plants from Guam. Most remarkably, the spider mite, Tetranychus marianae (Prostigmata: Tetranychidae) and the predatory mite Phytoseius horridus (Mesostigmata: Phytoseiidae) (Solanum melongena ...

Sulfur can suppress mite predators in vineyards [PDF]
The Pacific spider mite and the Willamette spider mite are the most common mite pests on grapevines. A single-season study of a vineyard near Madera showed that regular sulfur applications for powdery mildew control can exacerbate spider mite problems in vineyards by suppressing populations of predatory thrips and predatory mites.

Prospects for usage of predatory mite Neoseiulus californicus (MCGREGOR, 1954) (order Mesostigmata: subfamily, Amblyseiinae, family Phytoseiidae) [PDF]
The predatory mite Neoseiulus californicus (MCGREGOR, 1954) is used as a specialized acariphage on vegetable, flower and berry crops. In protected ground, N.

Background The successful rearing of predators or parasitoids is one of the most important elements in biological control programs. The dried fruit mite, Carpoglyphus lactis (L.), can be used as an alternative prey for the phytoseiid predatory mite ...

Matching commercial thrips predating phytoseids with the highly diversified climatic conditions of different strawberry production systems [PDF]
Flower inhabiting thrips (Order: Thysanoptera) are a major threat to fruit quality in strawberry production around the world. As chemical control is often inefficient, alternative control measures are of broad and current interest.

Water mites: predators and parasites
The majority of water mites found in freshwater belong to the Hydrachnellae, a group which exhibit striking morphological diversity. This paper reviews work on the structure, morphology and taxonomy. The role of water mites as predators, their life history and their parasitic associations with aquatic insect or freshwater mollusc hosts is discussed ...
