Comparison of thread-cutting behaviour in three specialist predatory mites to cope with complex webs of Tetranychus spider mites [PDF]
Anti-predator defenses provided by complex webs of Tetranychus mites can severely impede the performance of generalist predatory mites, whereas this may not be true for specialist predatory mites.
