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.

Predatory mites avoid ovipositing near counterattacking 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.

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 ...
