Abstract:
... Adult mites Balaustium murorum collected from a wild population died in laboratory storage containers and became mouldy. The fungus was identified as Purpureocillium lilacinum (predominate isolate) by 98% internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and beta-tubulin (Bt2a/Bt2b) BLAST match to authentic strains from soil. Larvae, deutonymphs, and adults could be artificially infected by topical application wi ...

Abstract:
... In- and out-breeding depressions are commonly observed phenomena in sexually reproducing organisms with a patchy distribution pattern, and spatial segmentation and/or isolation of groups. At the genetic level, inbreeding depression is due to increased homozygosity, whereas outbreeding depression is due to inferior genetic compatibility of mates. Optimal outbreeding theory suggests that intermediat ...

Abstract:
... Persimmon has been traditionally considered a minor crop in Spain. However, during the last 20 years, persimmon production has exponentially increased mainly due to the commercialization of the fruit without astringency by a process of modified atmospheres. Due to this, a crop which had few important pests in the past, has become a crop in which some harmful organisms, such as mealybugs (Hemiptera ...

Abstract:
... Mites comprise a group of key agricultural pests on a wide range of crops. They cause harm through feeding on the plant and transferring dangerous pathogens, and the rapid evolution of pesticide resistance in mites highlights the need for novel control methods. Currently, RNA interference (RNAi) shows great potential for insect pest control. Here, we review the literature regarding RNAi in mite pe ...

Abstract:
... Intraguild (IG)-prey prefer to oviposit at sites with a low IG-predation risk of their offspring. However, IG-predators sometimes show oviposition preferences similar to those of IG-prey. In such cases, IG-prey eggs might need protection against IG-predators to survive. We tested this possibility using a system that consisted of an IG-prey, the predatory mite Gynaeseius liturivorus, and an IG-pred ...
