BIOLOGY, HOST RANGE AND NATURAL ENEMIES OF THE COCONUT SPIDER MITE, Oligonychus velascoi RIMANDO
Annals of Tropical Research, 1987 The total developmental period of the coconut spider mite, Oligonychus velascoi Rimando was 6.3 and 6.9 days for those reared on detached and undetached leaflets, respectively.

Hop Optimal Irrigation Trial [PDF]
, 2016 Hops reportedly use about 610 to 715 mm (24 to 28 inches) of water per year (Evans 2003). Rainfall can contribute to this total, however, due to climatic variability, it is important that hops are irrigated regularly to combat moisture stress.

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 4, Page 3011-3018, April 2026.Biological control agents performance is influenced by temperature. Two cold‐tolerant lines of O. loevigatus were developed, improving their fitness at both low and high temperatures, offering advantages far augmentative biological control. Abstract BACKGROUND The performance of biological control agents (BCAs) is strongly influenced by environmental ...

Aerial movements of mites in almonds: Implications for pest management
California Agriculture, 1984 Not available – first paragraph follows: Spider mites and predatory mites can live all year on deciduous trees and vines. During the growing season they colonize the foliage, and during winter they overwinter under bark and in crevices in a state of ...

Augmentative biological control of twospotted spider mite on hops in the Midwest [PDF]
, 2018 The twospotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae is a key pest on hops, affecting the quality and quantity of yield. Hop production is a new industry in the midwestern USA, and little is known about mite management in this region. During 2016, a trial was

Evolving resistance patterns in Tetranychus urticae and Bemisia tabaci in Greece
Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 4, Page 3544-3551, April 2026.Greek populations of T. urticae and B. tabaci exhibit evolving multi‐resistance, confirmed by bioassays and molecular markers, highlighting the urgent need for evidence‐based resistance monitoring in IPM. Abstract BACKGROUND Pesticide resistance in agricultural pests remains a major barrier to effective and sustainable crop protection.

Males of the two-spotted spider mite attempt to copulate with mated females: effects of double mating on fitness of either sex [PDF]
In Tetranychus urticae (Acari: Tetranychidae), when the intervals between first and second copulation are more than 24 h, only the first copulation is effective for females.

Environmental stress influences reproductive success in male spider mites
Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 414-423, April 2026.This experiment explores how male juvenile food stress impacts reproductive traits in the haplodiploid spider mite Tetranychus urticae. Males exposed to juvenile food stress had lower reproductive success and females mated to these males also suffered reduced fitness as they were not able to produce optimal offspring sex ratios. The negative effects of

Niche Breadth and Olfactory Context Shape Informed Passive Dispersal
Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 4, April 2026.Experimental evolution reveals that niche breadth modulates informed passive dispersal in phytophagous mites through divergent strategies. While generalists optimise take‐off based on target cue familiarity and signal‐to‐noise ratios, specialists primarily track current host quality to trigger departure.

Ecological predictors of plant responses to sequential herbivory: a meta‐analysis
New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 2, Page 1128-1140, April 2026.Summary Plants evolved alongside herbivores for over 400 million years and show remarkable plasticity in responses to attack by multiple herbivores. However, it is often debated which herbivore traits predict plant responses and it is poorly understood how plant life‐history traits contribute to the variation observed in plant responses.
