Predatory behaviour of the mite cheyletus aversor

Animal Behaviour, 1972
Predaceous behaviour of the mite Cheyletus aversor was observed using a closed circuit TV system with a Sony AV-3600 videocorder. Responses of C. aversor to its prey or own species are analysed from four behavioural modes: ambushing, moving, feeding and resting.

How Plants Obtain Predatory Mites as Bodyguards

Netherlands Journal of Zoology, 1987
Phytophagous mites are a serious threat to their host plants; in absence of predators they tend to overexploit their food source. To prevent such a crash and maintain as much leaf area as possible host plants may defend themselves in various ways, one of which is to increase the effectiveness of natural enemies of the phytophagous mites.

Plant Feeding by a Predatory Mite Inhabiting Cassava

Experimental & Applied Acarology, 2002
Plant feeding by arthropod predators may strongly affect the dynamics of bi-and tri-trophic interactions. We tested whether a predatory mite, Typhlodromalus aripo, feeds upon its host plant, cassava. This predator species is an effective biological control agent of Monoychellus tanajoa (the cassava green mite or CGM) a herbivorous mite specific to ...

Resistance to chlorpyriphos in the predatory mite Kampimodromus aberrans

Experimental and Applied Acarology, 2011
The predatory mite Kampimodromus aberrans (Oudemans) is a key biocontrol agent in vineyards in Italy and Southern Europe. Its susceptibility to common pesticides (e.g., organophosphates) has been considered an important factor in preventing successful biocontrol of phytophagous mites. Nevertheless, populations of K.

Predatory Mites for Biological Control of Phytophagous Mites

2019
In 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)

Predatory mites (Gamasina, Mesostigmata)

Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, 1999
Abstract Mesostigmata or Gamasida are known from a wide range of habitats. Most of them are free living predators in soil and litter, on the soil surface or on plants. Some are able to disperse rapidly by phoresy. In agroecosystems, edaphic Mesostigmata are important predators of Nematoda, Collembola and insect larvae, and those living on plants may ...

Different responses to hypobaria between spider mites and a predatory mite

International Journal of Acarology, 2017
Spider mites are a quarantine pest for different agricultural products imported to Japan, which may require phytosanitary treatments.

Predatory mites avoid ovipositing near counterattacking prey

Experimental & Applied Acarology, 2001
Attacking prey is not without risk; predators may endure counterattack by the prey. Here, we study the oviposition behaviour of a predatory mite (Iphiseius degenerans) in relation to its prey, the western flower thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis). This thrips is capable of killing the eggs of the predator.

Contrasting structures of plant–mite networks compounded by phytophagous and predatory mite species

Experimental and Applied Acarology, 2018
Differences in the feeding habits between phytophagous and predatory species can determine distinct ecological interactions between mites and their host plants. Herein, plant-mite networks were constructed using available literature on plant-dwelling mites from Brazilian natural vegetation in order to contrast phytophagous and predatory mite networks ...
