Ultimate Drivers and Proximate Correlates of Polyandry in Predatory Mites
PLOS ONE, 2016 Polyandry is more widespread than anticipated from Bateman's principle but its ultimate (evolutionary) causes and proximate (mechanistic) correlates are more difficult to pinpoint than those of polygyny. Here, we combined mating experiments, quantification of reproductive traits and microsatellite genotyping to determine the fitness implications of ...

Role of Predatory Mites in Persistent Nonoccupational Allergic Rhinitis [PDF]
Canadian Respiratory Journal, 2016 Mites can sensitize and induce atopic disease in predisposed individuals and are an important deteriorating factor in patients with allergic rhinitis, asthma, and atopic dermatitis. Although Pyroglyphidae mites have been extensively studied, very scarce reports are available on Cheyletidae spp. especially regarding human respiratory pathology. The main

Ecography, EarlyView.Animals redistribute elements throughout their lives by depositing wastes and carcasses. Growing evidence shows that these zoogeochemical processes enhance landscape diversity and heterogeneity worldwide. We provide a descriptive framework for understanding how direct animal depositions (i.e.

Side effects of fungicides and insecticides on predatory mites, in laboratory conditions
Journal of Plant Protection Research, 2014 Experiments were carried out on the toxicity of selected insecticides and fungicides to the predatory mites species: Amblyseius swirskii, A. andersoni, and Phytoseiulus persimilis.

Oikos, EarlyView.Habitat coupling – where mobile predators forage over broad spatial scales and, in doing so, link food webs from semi‐discrete habitat patches – has emerged as a major structuring force in lake ecosystems. For the cold‐water apex predator lake trout Salvelinus namaycush, food‐web structure and morphometry‐driven accessibility to nearshore areas in ...

InsectsPredatory mites are biological control agents used in many countries against various vegetable pests, particularly spider mites. Despite the significant presence of predatory mites in the Tibetan plateau, there is limited research on their potential ...

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 2300-2311, April 2025.Light‐emitting diode (LED)‐based treatments for enhancing crop production and pest management have primarily focused on continuous treatments. This study, using Tetranychus urticae and Phytoseiulus persimilis, demonstrates that the timing of LED supplementation is crucial for designing integrated pest management strategies that improve both plant ...

Balancing in- and out-breeding by the predatory mite Phytoseiulus persimilis [PDF]
Experimental and Applied Acarology, 2018 In- and out-breeding depressions are commonly observed phenomena in sexually reproducing organisms with a patchy distribution pattern, and spatial segmentation and/or isolation of groups. At the genetic level, inbreeding depression is due to increased homozygosity, whereas outbreeding depression is due to inferior genetic compatibility of mates ...

Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control, 2018 Thrips is one of the most harmful insect groups attacking many field and vegetable crops. Predatory mites, especially those in family Phytoseiidae, are considered as good bioagents to control thrips where application of chemical pesticides can be ...
