Island invertebrate responses to single‐ and multi‐species invasive rodent eradications
Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.Eradications of rodents on islands are a powerful tool for conservation, but rarely are the responses of invertebrates quantified post‐eradication, despite being the preferred prey of mice. Here we analyzed pre‐ and post‐eradication invertebrate survey results for two sub‐Antarctic islands where mice had recently been eradicated; Antipodes Island where

Constitutive and Operational Variation of Learning in Foraging Predatory Mites
PLOS ONE, 2016 Learning is widely documented across animal taxa but studies stringently scrutinizing the causes of constitutive or operational variation of learning among populations and individuals are scarce. The ability to learn is genetically determined and subject to constitutive variation while the performance in learning depends on the immediate circumstances ...

Generalist predator Stratiolaelaps scimitus hampers establishment of the bulb scale mite predator Neoseiulus barkeri in Hippeastrum [PDF]
, 2011 In this study we investigate the hypothesis that presence of the generalistsoil-dwelling predatory mite Stratiolaelaps scimitus (Womersley)results in lower densities of the phytoseiid soil-dwelling predatorNeoseiulus barkeri Hughes in Hippeastrum ...

Diversity, 2020 In Norway, strawberry producers use cereal straw mulching to prevent berries from contacting the soil and to control weeds. We hypothesized that organic matter such as straw mulch also favors the maintenance of predatory mites which visit strawberry ...

Miticidal Tools for Management of Southern Red Mites Infesting Southern Highbush Blueberries
Insects, 2023 Tetranychid outbreaks have been detected since 2016 in southern highbush blueberries (SHB); however, it was not until 2019 that the southern red mite (SRM), Oligonychus ilicis (Acari: Tetranychidae) was confirmed as the pest causing severe bronzing and ...

The stealthiness of predatory mites as spider mite biological control agents [PDF]
Biological Control, 2019 Adult spider mite females that are aware of predatory mites can reduce predation by dispersing from patches invaded by predators or by shifting their oviposition site onto webs where eggs are predated less than on leaf surfaces. Therefore, the stealthiness of predatory mites stalking spider mite females should largely determine the success of spider ...

High-Definition Optical Coherence Tomography for the in vivo Detection of Demodex Mites [PDF]
, 2012 Background: Demodex mites are involved in different skin diseases and are commonly detected by skin scrape tests or superficial biopsies. A new high-definition optical coherence tomography (HD-OCT) with high lateral and axial resolution in a horizontal ...
