Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.(A) The predator Phytoseiulus persimilis and its prey Tetranychus urticae were reared under mild or extreme heat waves from egg to adulthood, which resulted in asymmetrical thermal shifts of adult body sizes in favour of prey under extreme heat waves. (B) Single couples of adult predators and prey, reared under mild heat waves interacted at mild heat ...

Tiny predators avoid herbivorous caterpillar traces to prevent accidental predation
Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract 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 immobile eggs would be incidentally consumed along with leaves by voracious lepidopteran ...

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 ...

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.

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
