Several traits are useful for identifying life-style types of predaceous phytoseiid mites when either 2 (diet generalist-specialist) or 4 (specialist I and II-generalist III and IV) type models [McMurtry J.A. and Croft B.A. 1997. Annu. Rev. Entomol.

Development of trophic relationships among introduced biological control agents and native (or introduced) parasitoids, predators, or pathogens can interfere with successful establishment, spread, and ecological impact on the target pest. For the int

1 Kampimodromus aberrans (Oudemans) is the most important predatory mite found in vineyards of southern France. This mite also occurs in surrounding uncultivated areas from where it disperses to colonize adjacent vineyards 2 To determine accurately o

We sampled phytoseiid mites (densities, diversity, and age structure) on several plants located in four uncultivated areas surrounding vineyards over 3 yr to determine how leaf structure affects populations. The plant composition of these areas great

We tested 13 species of phytoseiid mites for prey preferences between eggs and larvae of twospotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch. In general, oligophagous, specialized spider mite predators preferred eggs whereas more polyphagous, generalist

Predator-prey systems having a specialist predator often are over-exploitive, unstable and transient while similar systems having a generalist predator show less fluctuation, more stability and regulation of prey at lower densities. These population

Aerial dispersal is important to immigration and redistribution of phytoseiid mites that often can provide biological control of spider mite pests. Falling speed of a mite and wind largely determine dispersal distance of such a passively blown organi

We investigated kin discrimination of larvae by adult cannibalistic females in two specialist predaceous mite species. In dual choice tests, adult Phytoseiulus persimilis and P. macropilis females discriminated between related and unrelated larvae an

Jerking, a behavior involving a pronounced and often repeated lunging of the body, was studied in larvae among seven species of phytoseiid mites, Euseius finlandicus, Galendromus occidentalis, Neoseiulus californicus, Neoseiulus fallacis, Phytoseiulu

Predator–predator, predator–prey, and prey–prey associations among nine species of mites were studied in a plot of 100 “Red Delicious” apple (Malus pumila Miller) trees from 1990 to 1997. In 1990, seven-year-old trees were inoculated with P
