Intercropped Plants Provide a Reservoir of Predatory Mites in Coffee Crop

چکیده
Conservation biological control of pests may be achieved using a variety integrated strategies based on crop diversification. We investigated whether the insertion intercropped plants species (IPS) Inga edulis, Senna macranthera, and Varronia curassavica modified abundance mites, their feeding behavior, dissimilarity predator herbivore mites over gradient distance from IPS coffee. To accomplish this, we recorded mite coffee along transects 16 m extending IPS, including IPS. A total 8946 specimens were sampled. Tenuipalpidae was most abundant family coffee, followed by Tydeidae, while Eriophyidae Phytoseiidae. The richness differed between behavior distance. predators herbivores increased Furthermore, harbored several diversity among different. findings suggest that plant can attract serve as reservoir predatory crops, which could improve biocontrol pest

Role of Predatory Mites in Persistent Nonoccupational Allergic Rhinitis
Mites can sensitize and induce atopic disease in predisposed individuals and are an important deteriorating factor in patients with allergic rhinitis, asthma, and atopic dermatitis. Although Pyroglyphidae mites have been extensively studied, very scarce reports are available on Cheyletidae spp. especially regarding human respiratory pathology. The main objective of the present study is to inves...
متن کاملUltimate Drivers and Proximate Correlates of Polyandry in Predatory Mites
Polyandry is more widespread than anticipated from Bateman's principle but its ultimate (evolutionary) causes and proximate (mechanistic) correlates are more difficult to pinpoint than those of polygyny. Here, we combined mating experiments, quantification of reproductive traits and microsatellite genotyping to determine the fitness implications of polyandry in two predatory mite species, where...
متن کاملConstitutive and Operational Variation of Learning in Foraging Predatory Mites
Learning is widely documented across animal taxa but studies stringently scrutinizing the causes of constitutive or operational variation of learning among populations and individuals are scarce. The ability to learn is genetically determined and subject to constitutive variation while the performance in learning depends on the immediate circumstances and is subject to operational variation. We...
متن کاملNeonicotinoid Insecticides Alter Induced Defenses and Increase Susceptibility to Spider Mites in Distantly Related Crop Plants
BACKGROUND Chemical suppression of arthropod herbivores is the most common approach to plant protection. Insecticides, however, can cause unintended, adverse consequences for non-target organisms. Previous studies focused on the effects of pesticides on target and non-target pests, predatory arthropods, and concomitant ecological disruptions. Little research, however, has focused on the direct ...
متن کاملCompensatory growth following transient intraguild predation risk in predatory mites
Compensatory or catch-up growth following growth impairment caused by transient environmental stress, due to adverse abiotic factors or food, is widespread in animals. Such growth strategies commonly balance retarded development and reduced growth. They depend on the type of stressor but are unknown for predation risk, a prime selective force shaping life history. Anti-predator behaviours by im...
