Abstract: Astigmatid mites can be used as prey for mass rearing of phytoseiid predators, but also as a supplemental food source to support predator populations in crops. Here we evaluated the potential of six species of… read more here.

Abstract: Objective: The coding of astigmatid mites based on their morphological and developmental characteristics often leads to uncertainty in the results. The ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS-2) region, being highly conserved in eukaryotes is commonly employed… read more here.
