1. Physical and physiological costs of ectoparasitic mites on host flight endurance

Author:

Ecological entomology 2015 v.40 no.5 pp. 518-524

Subject:
Drosophila; Macrocheles; adverse effects; aerodynamics; assays; ectoparasites; flight; gene flow; mites; parasitism
Abstract:
... 1. Dispersal is essential for locating mates, new resources, and to escape unfavourable conditions. Parasitism can impact a host's ability to perform energetically demanding activities such as long‐distance flight, with important consequences for gene flow and meta‐population dynamics. 2. Ectoparasites, in particular, can adversely affect host flight performance by diminishing flight aerodynamics ...

Macrocheles; Rhynchophorus ferrugineus; elytra; evolution; females; insects; males; mites; parasitism; phoresy; Malaysia
Abstract:
... There is a great deal of diversity among phoretic association particularly in mesostigmatic mites that exploited insect host to complete their dispersal strategy. Similarly, the red palm weevil, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus, also has been used as a carrier by the phoretic mites. In this study, we found Centrouropoda almerodai (Uropodidae), Macrocheles mammifer, Macrocheles cf. oigru (Macrochelidae), ...

Abstract:
... The aim of this study was to recognize the species composition of soil mites of the order Mesostigmata in the soil/litter collected from rock cracks and crevices in Szczeliniec Wielki and Błędne Skały rock labirynths in the area of the Stołowe Mountains National Park (part of the Sudetes in SW Poland). Overall, 27 species were identified from 41 samples collected between September 2001 and August ...

International journal of acarology 2015 v.41 no.1 pp. 71-76

Subject:
Macrocheles; acarology; cannibalism; egg production; eggs; females; hatching; ovipary; oviposition; ovovivipary
Abstract:
... In Macrocheles glaber (Müller), oviposition can involve either oviparity or egg production followed by immediate hatching of the larva, a process that may be called ovoviviparity. We observed three phases in the process of ovoviviparity: preoviposition behaviour, oviposition followed by holding the egg under the gnathosoma and hatching of the larva assisted by the female. Two factors appear to fav ...

Abstract:
... Frankliniella occidentalis is a major pest in agriculture. Problems with its control are mainly due to pupation in the soil and resistance to insecticides. Biological control agents (BCA) can be used against thrips pests as an alternative to conventional insecticides. We evaluated the effectiveness of a number of BCA for control of F. occidentalis in cyclamen under greenhouse conditions. Three BCA ...
