The impact of temperature on predation rate of Amblyseius swirskii fed on Tetranychus urticae [PDF]
In recent years, the utilization of biocontrol agents for agriculture pests has received more attention, which has led to a growth in companies producing biocontrol agents, including predators and parasites. One of the phenomena that should be taken into

Is only the first mating effective for females in the Kanzawa spider mite, Tetranychus kanzawai (Acari: Tetranychidae)? [PDF]
Although only the first mating is effective for females in Tetranychus urticae (Acari: Tetranychidae), it remains unclear whether this is also true for closely related species, such as T. kanzawai.

Diversity and recombination in Wolbachia and Cardinium from Bryobia spider mites [PDF]
Background Wolbachia and Cardinium are endosymbiotic bacteria infecting many arthropods and manipulating host reproduction. Although these bacteria are maternally transmitted, incongruencies between phylogenies of host and parasite suggest an additional ...

Plant-herbivore interactions: A case of an extreme generalist, the two-spotted spider mite tetranychus urticae [PDF]
Plant-herbivore interactions evolved over long periods of time, resulting in an elaborate arms race between interacting species. While specialist herbivores evolved specific strategies to cope with the defenses of a limited number of hosts, our ...

Pest species diversity enhances control of spider mites and whiteflies by a generalist phytoseiid predator [PDF]
To test the hypothesis that pest species diversity enhances biological pest control with generalist predators, we studied the dynamics of three major pest species on greenhouse cucumber: Western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande ...
