Acta Scientiarum Polonorum: Hortorum Cultus, 2014 Despite intensive chemical plant protection conducted in ornamental nurseries in Poland, spider mites are still one of problematic pests. In view of increasing resistance of spider mites on acaricides, searching for alternative methods of nursery plants

Extreme Silk Toughness in Caerostris Spiders Is Limited to Adult Females
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.We ask whether species with exceptionally tough silk, like Caerostris bark spiders, show different developmental patterns in silk toughness between ontogenetic stages and sexes. We found that only large females produce exceptionally tough silk with higher initial stiffness, while juvenile females as well as adult and juvenile males produce inferior ...

JDDG: Journal der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft, EarlyView.Zusammenfassung Hintergrund Realistische Trainingsmodelle sind essenziell, um Ärztinnen und Ärzte in klinischen Prozeduren zu schulen. In dieser Studie wurde untersucht, ob ein kostengünstiges, selbst generiertes 3D‐gedrucktes Hautmodell Früchten und Schaumstoffmodellen beim Erlernen von Hautstanzen überlegen ist.

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.Orius laevigatus engages in unidirectional intraguild predation on Transeius montdorensis. Despite this, both predators coexisted and suppressed the shared thrips prey. Aphids, a non‐shared prey, were effectively controlled by O. laevigatus even when its population was limited due to intraguild predation. T.

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.

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.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.

Forest type influence on Heliconia‐dipteran interaction networks
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.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.
, 2022 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
