DOI: 10.1007/s10526-017-9800-5
Abstract: Slow-release sachets of predatory mites are widely employed for controlling small pest arthropods in protected crops. However, environmental stresses can adversely affect the performance of such sachets. To solve this problem, we developed plant-attached shelters… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.anbehav.2017.09.005
Abstract: Animals are commonly exposed to multiple environmental stimuli, but whether, and under which circumstances, they can attend to multiple stimuli in multitask learning challenges is elusive. Here, we assessed whether simultaneously occurring chemosensory stimuli interfere… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.biocontrol.2020.104371
Abstract: Abstract Plant-inhabiting predatory mites (Acari, Phytoseiidae) are important natural enemies of herbivorous mites and insects and globally used in biological control in diverse agro-ecosystems. Foraging predatory mites predominantly use chemical cues to find plants harboring… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jee/toac092
Abstract: Abstract Phytoseiid predatory mites are efficient biocontrol agents of important thrips pests, such as the western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis Pergande (Thysanoptera: Thripidae). Until recently, it was believed that first instars, and to a lesser… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1744-7917.13156
Abstract: Olfactory plays a crucial role for arthropods in foraging, mating and oviposition. Odorant-binding protein gene (OBP) was considered one of the most important olfactory genes. However, little is known about its functions in predatory mites.… read more here.

DOI: 10.11158/saa.25.12.9
Abstract: Abstract Implementing a predator-mediated pathogen dissemination system can meet the goal of simultaneous biocontrol of harmful mites and other pests. But for the system to be effective, it must satisfy the requirement of high lethality… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/spectrum.01755-22
Abstract: Greenhouses, though highly effective agricultural environments, are characterized by reduced sources of bacterial diversity and means of dispersal compared to more natural settings. As it is known that plant health and productivity are affected by… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/spectrum.02654-22
Abstract: Predatory mites are important natural enemies for biological control of pests, but mass rearing of the mites can be affected by pathogens. In particular, the mite pathogen Acaricomes phytoseiuli may pose a threat to predatory… read more here.
