Insect biological control of the tomato‐potato psyllid Bactericera cockerelli, a review

New Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science, Volume 53, Issue 4, Page 795-811, December 2025.
ABSTRACT The tomato‐potato psyllid (TPP) Bactericera cockerelli is a polyphagous herbivore and a renowned pest of solanaceous crops found in America and the Pacific region. Over the last fifteen years, several strategies have been tested worldwide to successfully manage this species, but these have been mostly unsuccessful.

Experimental evidence for a new transmission route in a parasitic mite and its mucus-dependent orientation towards the host snail [PDF]

, 2017
The route of transmission and host finding behaviour are fundamental components of a parasite's fitness. Riccardoella limacum, a haematophagous mite, lives in the mantle cavity of helicid land snails.

Invasive giant river prawns as opportunistic, generalist predators in the Amazon Delta: Insights from metabarcoding

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract Invasive species alter habitats and biological communities. The giant river prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii (de Man 1879) was introduced to Brazil for aquaculture, and invasive populations have established in the Amazon Delta region where they are believed to pose a risk to the native aquatic fauna.

Of all shapes and sizes: a theoretical framework for animal‐mediated terrestrial heterogeneity across scales

Ecography, Volume 2025, Issue 9, September 2025.
Animals redistribute elements throughout their lives by depositing wastes and carcasses. Growing evidence shows that these zoogeochemical processes enhance landscape diversity and heterogeneity worldwide. We provide a descriptive framework for understanding how direct animal depositions (i.e.

Intensity of parasitic mite infection decreases with hibernation duration of the host snail [PDF]

, 2017
Temperature can be a limiting factor on parasite development. Riccardoella limacum, a haematophagous mite, lives in the mantle cavity of helicid land snails. The prevalence of infection by R. limacum in populations of the land snail Arianta arbustorum is

Occupational Mite Allergy and Asthma: An EAACI Task Force Report

Allergy, Volume 80, Issue 9, Page 2484-2500, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Mite sensitization is notable in several occupational settings. Elevated house dust mite concentrations are primarily detected in workplaces where people congregate and are active. Allergy to storage mites and spider mites has commonly been reported in agricultural and various food processing occupations.
