innate and acquired response of neoseiulus barkeri and neoseiulus californicus (acari: phytoseiidae) to spider mite induced plant volatiles
نویسندگان
چکیده
predators may adjust their foraging behavior according to herbivore induced plant volatiles innately or through learning. here, first we investigated whether the phytoseiid predatory mites, neoseiulus californicus and n. barkeri were innately able to respond to odors related to tetranychus urticae infested bean leaves. the naïve predator females were reared on washed t. urticae as prey on filter paper with no experience of sipv. the olfactory experiments showed that both n. barkeri and n. californicus significantly moved towards t. urticae infested bean leaves rather than clean air. neoseiulus californicus significant preference of t. urticae infested bean leaves rather than clean tomato (as unfamiliar environment) confirmed the innate response in this species, while n. barkeri could not differentiate the latter odor sources so that its innate response considered weak. in a separate set of experiments, naïve n. californicus females with no preference towards sipv were experienced by receiving odors related to t. urticae infested bean leaves. the changed response (significant preference) of the experienced individuals showed the predator ability for acquired response. as the predator paired the odor with food absence/presence, associated learning was suggested as the mechanism. no acquired response was recorded for n. barkeri.

Spectrum-specific UV egg damage and dispersal responses in the phytoseiid predatory mite Neoseiulus californicus (Acari: Phytoseiidae).
Solar ultraviolet-B (UVB) radiation is deleterious to plant-dwelling mites. Neoseiulus californicus (McGregor) is a predominant predator of agriculturally important pest species of spider mite. However, phytoseiid mites are more vulnerable to UVB radiation than spider mites. Thus, the UVB radiation may influence decision making in foraging phytoseiid mites whether disperse or not. We tested the...

repeatability, (the consistency with which a given trait is expressed) of aggressiveness against prey (attack latency) in gravid females of the predatory mite neoseiulus californicus (mcgregor) was examined. in two experiments, prey - conspecific individuals, the onion thrips thrips tabaci (lindeman), and the two-spotted spider mite tetranychus urticae koch- were repeatedly offered in various n...

The old world date mite, Oligonychus afrasiaticus (McGregor) (Acari: Tetranychidae) is a severe spider mite pest of date palm in most of the Middle East and North Africa. Considering that nothing is known about the performance of phytoseiid predators against O. afrasiaticus, biology, predation, and life table parameters of Cydnoseius negevi (Swirski and Amitai) and Neoseiulus barkeri Hughes (Ac...
متن کاملPrenatal Chemosensory Learning by the Predatory Mite Neoseiulus californicus
BACKGROUND Prenatal or embryonic learning, behavioral change following experience made prior to birth, may have significant consequences for postnatal foraging behavior in a wide variety of animals, including mammals, birds, fish, amphibians, and molluscs. However, prenatal learning has not been previously shown in arthropods such as insects, spiders and mites. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS ...
