Domatia reduce larval cannibalism in predatory mites [PDF]
Ecological Entomology, 2008 Abstract1. Acarodomatia are small structures on the underside of leaves of many plant species, which are mainly inhabited by carnivorous and fungivorous mites.2. Domatia are thought to protect these mites against adverse environmental conditions and against predation.

Predatory Mites (Acari: Phytoseiidae) in Agro-Ecosystems and Conservation Biological Control: A Review and Explorative Approach for Forecasting Plant-Predatory Mite Interactions and Mite Dispersal [PDF]
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2018 Phytoseiidae mites are efficient predators, able to control pest mites and small arthropods in crops all over the world, using three biological control strategies: (i) augmentation, (ii) classical, and (iii) conservation. This paper focuses on the latter

Side effects of abamectin and hexythiazox on seven predatory mites
Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2021 Use of acaricides has become a common practice to control pests all over the world including Saudi Arabia. In spite of killing the targeted pests, such insecticides also effect growth of predatory mites.

In search of artificial domatia for predatory mites [PDF]
Biocontrol Science and Technology, 2018 Banker plants can enhance biological pest control by providing both floral resources and appropriate oviposition sites, e.g. through acarodomatia, to predator species. The use of materials mimicking domatia i.e. artificial domatia may be an economically favourable alternative to the use of banker plants bearing domatia. The aim of the present study was
