Plant Feeding by a Predatory Mite Inhabiting Cassava
Experimental & Applied Acarology, 2002Plant 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 ...

Zoosymposia, 2022
Predatory mites were the second largest group of natural enemies, where some species have been commercialized and used worldwide for pest biological control. Two important predatory mite species Phytoseiulus persimilis and Neoseiulus cucumeris have been introduced to China for the control of mite and small insect pests in greenhouses and open fields ...

Do spider mite‐infested plants and spider mite trails attract predatory mites?
Ecological Research, 2009Abstract We questioned the well‐accepted concept that spider mite‐infested plants attract predatory mites from a distance. This idea is based on the preference demonstrated by predatory mites such as Phytoseiulus persimilis Athias‐Henriot (Acari: Phytoseiidae) for volatiles ...

Multiple resource supplements synergistically enhance predatory mite populations
Oecologia, 2017Many plants offer food rewards such as extrafloral nectar and food bodies, which have been shown to attract and retain entomophagous arthropods. In addition to food rewards, plants may possess structures that serve as shelter and/or oviposition sites for beneficial arthropods, so-called domatia.

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

Trichomes and spider-mite webbing protect predatory mite eggs from intraguild predation
Oecologia, 2000Predaceous arthropods are frequently more abundant on plants with leaves that are pubescent or bear domatia than on plants with glabrous leaves. We explored the hypothesis that for some predatory mites this is because pubescence affords protection from intraguild predation.

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)

Kin recognition by juvenile predatory mites: prior association or phenotype matching?
Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 2007Kin recognition, the biased treatment of conspecific individuals based on genetic relatedness, is a widespread phenomenon in animals. The most common mechanisms mediating kin recognition are prior association (familiarity) and phenotype matching. Recognition based on prior association allows identifying familiar individuals.

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.
