Integration of biological mite control into outdoor strawberry production: a matter of efficacy and economy [PDF]
Ten years experiences in experimental and practical fields prove that effective control of strawberry mite can be achieved by inundative introductions of the predatory mite Amblyseius cucumeris. Lately, Neoseiulus barkeri has been included to experiments

Predation pressure varies vertically, with highest arthropod predation in the understory and highest bird predation in the canopy. Light availability differs across vertical strata, but predation patterns are more strongly influenced by height and forest structure than by light gradients.

Effective Control of Two-spotted Spider Mite and European Red Mite in Apple Orchards [PDF]
IntroductionTwo-spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae Koch and European red mite, Panonychus ulmi (Koch) are the most important pests of apple orchards in different parts of Iran.

To gain insight into the regulatory networks that underlie the induced defense in cucumber against spider mites, genes encoding transcription factors (TFs) were identified in the cucumber (Cucumissativus) genome and their regulation by two-spotted spider

Forest type influence on Heliconia‐dipteran interaction networks
Responses to forest type depended on the developmental stage of dipterans. Bract traits and forest type influenced larval abundance, but forest type had no impact on adult alpha and beta diversity. Heliconia‐dipteran interaction networks showed a nested pattern for both forest types.

Plant responses to spider mite oviposition.
Plants are sessile organisms permanently exposed to a combination of abiotic and biotic stresses. Therefore, their survival depends on their capacity to adapt to the myriad of events that they face constantly. Among them, arthropod herbivory has a heavy cost on plant biology, and on agricultural systems millions of euros are lost every year due to pest

Hairy Roadblock: Stem Trichomes Impede Herbivore Movement in a Species and Instar‐Dependent Manner
ABSTRACT Plants have evolved to deploy a vast set of defence mechanisms against insect herbivores, including physical barriers like leaf trichomes with pre and post ingestive effects. Yet, the role of stem trichomes in plant‐herbivore interactions, particularly mobility dynamics, is poorly understood.
