Predatory Mites in Citrus Under Protective Screen
EDIS, 2021 Managing the Asian citrus psyllid (ACP), a vector of huanglongbing (HLB), is critical for reducing disease incidence and improving tree health. Growing citrus under screened structures, referred to as citrus under protective screen (CUPS), protects trees from ACP and HLB. CUPS provides an opportunity to produce premium-quality fresh fruit by preventing

Effects of Alternative Prey Density on Cannibalism in Adult Female Neoseiulus californicus
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.Using two strains of N. californicus—TU (reared long‐term on T. urticae) and OB (reared long‐term on O. bakeri)—this study demonstrated that although alternative prey density had no significant effect on cannibalism, both rearing strain and conspecific life stage significantly influenced cannibalistic behavior, with a significant interaction between ...

Evolution of Peripheral Visual System in the Apoidea: A Role for Food Item Mobility?
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.Since larger compound eyes and ocelli altogether improve vision, one may expect that insects specialised in chasing very mobile resources possess such morphological optimisation. By analysing 77 species of bees and wasps, we have found that wasps had larger eyes, but not larger ocelli, than bees.

Variation in Herbivory-induced Volatiles Among Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) Varieties has Consequences for the Attraction of Carnivorous Natural Enemies [PDF]
, 2011 In response to herbivory by arthropods, plants emit herbivory-induced volatiles that attract carnivorous enemies of the inducing herbivores. Here, we compared the attractiveness of eight cucumber varieties (Cucumis sativus L.) to Phytoseiulus persimilis ...

Food and Energy Security, Volume 15, Issue 3, May/June 2026.ABSTRACT Recent advances in agricultural production and storage systems have contributed to a significant enhancement in annual wheat production and preservation, aimed at satisfying increasing consumer demands. Despite such potential developments, there are still significant post‐harvest losses in stored wheat, induced by destructive pests, grain ...

Contrasting effects of temperature across trophic levels in geothermally warmed soil food webs
Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.Global warming is altering the structure and dynamics of ecological communities, with significant consequences for soil food webs. Rising temperatures are expected to accelerate metabolic rates in organisms, potentially altering species interactions, and the structure and energetics of food webs.

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 2, May 2026.Abstract This case report describes two dogs exhibiting severe behavioural problems, both diagnosed with early‐life giardiasis and raised in environments lacking adequate maternal care and socialisation. Both dogs experienced chronic gastrointestinal and dermatological issues, as well as prolonged early‐life stress, which likely contributed to ...

Biological control of the strawberry mite by using predatory mites [PDF]
, 2003 Strawberry mite control by Neoseiulus cucumeris has proven economically feasible. To achieve a better integration of biocontrol with growing techniques and outdoor conditions development of alternative approaches by native phytoseiid species are ...
