Verified and potential pathogens of predatory mites (Acari: Phytoseiidae)
Experimental and Applied Acarology, 2008Several species of phytoseiid mites (Acari: Phytoseiidae), including species of the genera Amblyseius, Galendromus, Metaseiulus, Neoseiulus, Phytoseiulus and Typhlodromus, are currently reared for biological control of various crop pests and/or as model organisms for the study of predator-prey interactions.

Plant cell piercing by a predatory mite: evidence and implications [PDF]
Experimental and Applied Acarology, 2014 Omnivorous arthropods can play an important role as beneficial natural enemies because they can sustain their populations on plants when prey is scarce, thereby providing prophylactic protection against an array of herbivores. Although some omnivorous mite species of the family Phytoseiidae consume plant cell-sap, the feeding mechanism and its ...

Different responses to hypobaria between spider mites and a predatory mite
International Journal of Acarology, 2017Spider mites are a quarantine pest for different agricultural products imported to Japan, which may require phytosanitary treatments.

Does the moon influence the predatory activity of mites?
Experientia, 1992Periodicity in predatory activity was observed in overwintered females of Typhlodromus pyri Scheuten (Acari: Phytoseiidae). Chronobiometrical analysis revealed that an approximately circabiseptan (about-14-day) rhythm is statistically significant, with a striking depression around the full moon.

On a new predatory Mite of economic Importance
Bulletin of Entomological Research, 1952The biology and systematics of the predatory mites of the family Laelaptidae have received increased attention since they have been shown to be of importance in the control of phytophagous mites, especially Tetranychidae, resistant to modern insecticides.

Predatory Mites for Biological Control of Phytophagous Mites
2019In this chapter we present methods for rearing predatory mites of family Phytoseiidae in the laboratory and in the greenhouse. In the laboratory, the suggested method is to rear specialized phytoseiids (Type I) in artificial arenas, using the two-spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae as food, and to rear generalist phytoseiids (types II, III, and IV)

How predatory mites find plants with whitefly prey
Experimental and Applied Acarology, 2005We investigated the searching behaviour of two species of predatory mites, Typhlodromips swirskii (Athias-Henriot) and Euseius scutalis (Athias-Henriot), both known to feed on immature stages of the whitefly Bemisia tabaci Gennadius. When released in a greenhouse inside a circle of cucumber plants that were alternatingly clean or infested with immature

OCCURRENCE OF PREDATORY AND FUNGIVOROUS MITES IN LEAF DOMATIA
American Journal of Botany, 1989Domatia are small invaginations and hair tufts usually found at vein junctions on the undersides of leaves in many woody dicots. Domatia of 32 plant species (of worldwide origin from 18 families) growing in California, Hawaii, and Costa Rica were examined for mites. Domatia of 31 of 32 (97%) of these plants contained mites, and 24 of 32 (75%) contained

Detoxification Enzyme Differences Between a Herbivorous and Predatory Mite
Science, 1982The detoxification capabilities of the predatory mite Amblyseius fallacis and its herbivorous prey Tetranychus urticae are fundamentally different. The activities of mixed-function oxidase and trans-epoxide hydrolase are higher in the prey than in the predator; those of cis
