Intraguild aggressiveness between an alien and a native predatory mite [PDF]

, 2019
The predatory mite Amblydromalus limonicus, non-native in Europe, can be used legally in several European countries as greenhouse biocontrol agent against thrips species, although this species is also able to feed on whiteflies and gall mites.

The Predatory Mite Amblyseius tamatavensis (Blommers) (Acari: Phytoseiidae)

EDIS
The predatory mite Amblyseius tamatavensis (Blommers) belongs to the order Mesostigmata and the family Phytoseiidae. This family is important because it includes commercially available biological control agents and natural enemies of plant-feeding mites

Assessing the Efficacy of Steinernema carpocapsae for Biological Control of Megaselia halterata on Mushroom Farms

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 11, Page 1401-1407, November 2026.
Steinernema carpocapsae applications averaged 40%–60% mortality of mushroom phorid larvae in laboratory experiments. Survival experiments showed that nematode populations drop 50% approximately 5 days post application in mushroom compost. ABSTRACT Mushroom phorid flies (Megaselia halterata; MPF) are a major pest of commercial mushroom production, where

Molecular identification of predatory mites

, 2009
An army of different predatory mites are at the front line of biological pest control. They all seem to share an indentical appearance, but they differ mutually in biological characters and functionality. Dutch Research Institute PPO Lisse has created a DNA fingerprint of the various species of predatory mites currently deployed in greenhouse ...

Orchard netting impacts on biodiversity leading to cascading effects at the ecosystem level

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2448-2466, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Agriculture must ensure food production without further compromising the ecosystem functions upon which it depends. Agricultural practices should therefore avoid harming farmland biodiversity, especially of taxa that supply the key ecosystem services (e.g.

Simulated Targeted Anthelmintic Treatment Maintains Dung Removal but Not Dung‐Inhabiting Insect Communities

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
Spatially explicit simulation modelling reveals complex effects of anthelmintic treatment regimes on dung‐inhabiting insect communities across three functional guilds (flies, endocoprids, paracoprids). Only without treatment did significant community effects not occur, while increasing livestock stocking density reduced overall community size ...

Impact of Predatory Mite Releases on the Abundance of Pecan Leaf Scorch Mite (Acari: Tetranychidae)

, 2007
Release of the predatory mites, Galendromus occidentalis (Nesbitt) and Phytoseuilis persimilis Athias-Henriot, suppressed or controlled populations of pecan leaf scorch mite (Eotetranychus hicoriae McGregor [Acari:Tetranychidae]) in an 18-yr-old ...

‘The Bethune College Sensation’: Gender, Archive and Radical Passivity

Gender &History, Volume 38, Issue 3, Page 882-894, October 2026.
ABSTRACT This article explores the student protests at Bethune College, Calcutta, on 3 February 1928, against the Simon Commission, a British parliamentary delegation that excluded Indian representation. On this day, female students staged a quiet but radical act of defiance by refusing to attend classes, sign apologies or vacate their hostel, despite ...

Is There a Fly in My Soup? To What Extent Do Metabarcoding and Individual Barcoding Tell the Same Story?

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 7, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Metabarcoding has become the method of choice for characterizing complex arthropod communities. The extent to which metabarcoded bulk samples will recover the same community composition as individual sequencing of all individuals in the sample remains poorly quantified.
