Tiny predators avoid herbivorous caterpillar traces to prevent accidental predation

open access: yesEcosphere
We report the first example of predators having a strategy to avoid accidental predation by herbivorous insects. The predatory mites Neoseiulus womersleyi and Euseius sojaensis are smaller than 0.5 mm and lay eggs on plant leaf surfaces; thus, their ...

Improved impact from the use of beneficial natural enemy species in Australian canola systems: challenges and required tools

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 11, Page 10540-10550, November 2026.
In canola production systems in Australia, practices for the use of beneficials (arthropod predators and parasitoids) as part of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategy, have not been widely adopted. We outline how canola growers and their advisors can be supported with incremental steps, from passive to active management, to help shift them from ...

Distribution of Arboreal Acarofauna in Two Species of Tropical Trees

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 58, Issue 6, November 2026.
Mite assemblages on tropical trees were structured primarily by vertical microhabitat rather than tree species, forming three distinct clusters from the forest floor to the canopy. Mesostigmata and Prostigmata were more abundant on Haldina cordifolia. Combining substrate washing and Tullgren–Berlese extraction captured complementary species assemblages
