This review briefly describes characteristics and occurrence of diapause in
phytoseiid mites. This is followed by a discussion of factors involved in
induction, maintenance and termination of diapause (e.g. photoperiod,
temperature and food availability), of the physiological mechanism of diapause
induction (photoperiodic perception and comparison of photoperiodic and
thermoperiodic induction mech... hiện toàn bộ
Although phytoseiids are best known as predators of phytophagous mites and other
small arthropods, several species can also feed and reproduce on pollen. In
laboratory assays, we assessed the profitability of two types of dietary
supplements (three pollen species—cattail, maize and apple—and eggs of the
Mediterranean flour moth, Ephestia kuehniella) for the two species of predatory
mites most comm... hiện toàn bộ
