Occurrence of predatory mites of the Phytoseiidae family on apple-trees in integrated and ecological orchards

open access: yesPlant Protection Science, 2008
During the 2005-2007, we identified six species of predatory mites in the integrated and an ecological orchard: Phytoseius echinus, Phytoseius macropilis, Euseius finlandicus, Typhlodromus pyri, Paraseiulus triporus and Amblyseius andersoni.

Glyphosate residues in soil alter herbivore‐induced plant volatiles and affect predatory insect behaviour

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Herbicide residues in soil disrupt plant–insect signalling, reducing the effectiveness of biological pest control. Abstract Plants under herbivore attack emit distinct blends of herbivore‐induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) which serve as signalling cues for predatory insects.

Noah's Raven, Noah's Son: The Metamorphoses of Blackness in Early Modern Readings of Genesis 8‐9

open access: yesRenaissance Studies, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Over the past half‐century, scholars have offered various theories to explain when and how an aetiology for black skin became part of the reception history of the so‐called Curse of Ham in Genesis 9—a text that does not include any reference to skin colour.

Beneficial Predators: Predatory Mites

open access: yes, 2012
Predatory mites can provide natural pest control by eating unwanted pests. These beneficial mites are one way to maintain pest populations at non-damaging levels, known as biological control.

Predatory mites (Arachnida: Phytoseiidae) in Slovenia

open access: yes, 2022
Namen diplomske naloge je predstavitev vrst plenilskih pršic iz družine Phytoseiidae, ki so bile do sedaj najdene v Sloveniji, s posebnim poudarkom na njihovem pomenu v varstvu rastlin.

Prey location by the predatory mites Neoseiulus californicus and Phytoseiulus persimilis (Acari: Phytoseiidae) under exposure to chlorfenapyr and acequinocyl

open access: yesPersian Journal of Acarology
Biological control is widely regarded as a sustainable and eco-friendly approach to pest management. However, the use of acaricides may occasionally be required as a supplementary measure.

Effect of fungus Lecanicillium lecanii and bacteria Bacillus thuringiensis, Streptomyces avermitilis on two-spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae (Acari: Tetranychidae) and predatory mite Phytoseiulus persimilis (Acari: Phytoseiidae)

open access: yesJournal of Plant Protection Research, 2020
The efficacy of the fungus Lecanicillium lecanii and two bacteria, Bacillus thuringiensis and Streptomyces avermitilis against the two-spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae Koch and side effects on its predatory mite Phytoseiulus persimilis A.-H. was

Evaluating Syrphid Fly Predation on Aphids Under Controlled and Field Conditions in High Tunnels: A Comparative Study With Lacewings

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 6, Page 693-705, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Biological control in high tunnel systems can be optimised by matching predator species to seasonal environmental conditions. We evaluated the predatory efficacy of syrphid flies (Toxomerus marginatus (Say), Eupeodes americanus (Fabricius)) and lacewings (Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens), Chrysoperla rufilabris (Burmeister)) across laboratory ...

Hairy Roadblock: Stem Trichomes Impede Herbivore Movement in a Species and Instar‐Dependent Manner

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 6, Page 728-735, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Plants have evolved to deploy a vast set of defence mechanisms against insect herbivores, including physical barriers like leaf trichomes with pre and post ingestive effects. Yet, the role of stem trichomes in plant‐herbivore interactions, particularly mobility dynamics, is poorly understood.

Grape downy mildew Plasmopara viticola, an alternative food for generalist predatory mites occurring in vineyards

open access: yes, 2008
The persistence of generalist predatory mites in scarcity or absence of prey is a requirement for successful biocontrol of herbivore mites. Pollen is an alternative food for generalist predatory mites.
