Abstract: The soil-inhabiting predatory mite Stratiolaelaps scimitus (Womersley) (Acari: Laelapidae) and the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuillemin (Hypocreales: Cordycipitaceae) can both serve as effective biocontrol agents against the pest Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae). Assuming… read more here.

Abstract: Predatory soil-dwelling mites, Gaeolaelaps aculeifer (Canestrini) and Stratiolaelaps scimitus (Womersley) (Mesostigmata: Laelapidae), are essential biocontrol agents of small soil arthropod pests. To understand the population characteristics of these two predatory mites, we investigated their development,… read more here.
