Stronger Antipredatory Vigilance of Prey to Olfactory Cues From Injured Vulnerable Conspecifics [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionPredation risk is a key evolutionary force shaping prey behaviors and life‐history strategies across taxa. Predators often target vulnerable life stages of prey, but how prey females adjust their reproductive strategies in response to cues from injured ...

Colonization Priority of Spider Mites Modulates Antioxidant Defense of Bean Plants [PDF]
InsectsThe first species of herbivore to colonize the plant can obtain advantages and displace other organisms to less favorable substrates. This study evaluated whether the colonization order of the herbivores Tetranychus ludeni Zacher and T.

Reproductive plasticity in response to the changing cluster size during the breeding period: a case study in a spider mite. [PDF]
Exp Appl Acarol, 2023 Animals living in clusters should adjust their reproductive strategies to adapt to the social environment. Theories predict that the benefits of cluster living would outweigh the costs of competition. Yet, it is largely unknown how animals optimize their

Mite Infestation Induces a Moderate Oxidative Stress in Short-Term Soybean Exposure [PDF]
PlantsPhytophagous mites are herbivores that feed on various economically important plants, such as soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merril]. Thus, our objective is to evaluate the oxidative stress stage of soybean plants infested by Tetranychus ludeni Zacher ...

Impact of prey species, host plant, and predator sex on the functional response of Orius strigicollis [PDF]
Scientific ReportsTetranychus ludeni and Frankliniella intonsa are voracious and economically important pests of crops. Orius strigicollis is a promising biocontrol agent for managing these pests, but effective integrated pest management (IPM) requires understanding ...

Why Do Herbivorous Mites Suppress Plant Defenses? [PDF]
Front Plant Sci, 2018 Plants have evolved numerous defensive traits that enable them to resist herbivores. In turn, this resistance has selected for herbivores that can cope with defenses by either avoiding, resisting or suppressing them. Several species of herbivorous mites,

Conspecific cues mediate habitat selection and reproductive performance in a haplodiploid spider mite. [PDF]
Curr ZoolSelection of a suitable habitat by animals before settlement is critical for their survival and reproduction. In silk spinning arthropods like spider mites, denser webs offer protection from predation and serve as a dispersal mode.
