Environmental RNAi pathways in the two-spotted spider mite. [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2021 Abstract Background RNA interference (RNAi) regulates gene expression in most multicellular organisms through binding of small RNA effectors to target transcripts. Exploiting this process is a popular strategy for genetic manipulation and has applications that includes arthropod pest control.

Biology of the Two-Spotted Spider Mite on Strawberry Plants. [PDF]
Neotrop Entomol, 2014 The two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch, is commonly found on strawberry crops (Fragaria x ananassa). Strawberry plants have defensive mechanisms, which in turn influence the behavior of herbivores. The oviposition and development of the two-spotted spider mite were evaluated on the leaf disks of the cultivars 'Aromas,' 'Camarosa ...
