“…Euseius finlandicus overall development time on S. garmani was equal to that reported by Kropczynska ( 1970 ) for the predator fed on P. ulmi . Moreover, the number of eggs laid by E. finlandicus females fed on S. garmani was greater than on any other spider mite or eriophyid mite species previously tested (Chant 1959 ; Kropczyńska 1970 ; Amano and Chant 1986 ; Kropczyńska et al 1988 ; Schausberger 1992 ; Abdallah et al 2001 ). Nevertheless, the longevity and fecundity of T. pyri females were higher on each tested spider mite species than in the case of E. finlandicus fed on the same food.…”

“…urticae were close to those reported by Kropczyńska ( 1970 ) or Schausberger ( 1992 ). In turn, Abdallah et al ( 2001 ) stated that overall immature stage duration of E. finlandicus feeding on larvae and protonymphs of Te. urticae was shorter than that in our study.…”

“…The authors stated that the dominant phytoseid species in natural conditions was Euseius finlandicus (Oudemans), whereas in nurseries willows were most frequently inhabited by Typhlodromus pyri Scheuten. Both the species are considered to be important predators of phytophagous mites in European orchards and vineyards (Schruft 1985 ; Maixner 1990 ; Abdallah et al 2001 ). Their positive association with spider mites occurring on cultivated willows (Puchalska et al 2014 ) indicates their potential role in pest management in ornamental nurseries.…”

Typhlodromuspyri Scheuten and Euseius finlandicus (Oudemans) are important predators of phytophagous mites. The present laboratory study aimed to determine whether both species can develop and reach maturity feeding on spider mites occurring on willows, i.e., Schizotetranychus schizopus (Zacher), Schizotetranychus garmani Pritchard & Baker, and Tetranychus urticae Koch, and on Brassica napus L. pollen. The predators’ development, reproduction and demographic parameters were significantly affected by diet. The data suggest that rape pollen can be useful in mass rearing of E. finlandicus but is completely unsuitable as alternative food for T. pyri. Short development time and high values of population parameters achieved by T. pyri feeding on larvae and protonymphs of S. schizopus and by E. finlandicus feeding on juvenile stages of S. garmani indicate great suitability of these preys as food for the phytoseiids, and make both predatory species promising biocontrol agents in spider mite control on willows.

“…The range of environmental factors of the mentioned territories is optimal and promotes this species' spatial distribution and dominant position in the phytoseiid community. According to the previous data (Abdallah et al, 2001;Puchalska & Kozak, 2016) the species E. finlandicus is considered an important predator of phytophages in European gardens and vineyards.…”

We founded that E. finlandicus and K. aberrans formed the nucleus of Phytoseiidae community on the plants of urbanized environment in the result of study of 93 plant species (55 species of tree-and-shrub (58.9%) and 38 species of herbaceous plants (41.1%). Our research was carried out in plantations along the main and secondary municipal highways, near residential area and industrial buildings, on private plots of the private building area, in city parks and squares of Kyiv, Uman, Brovary, and Vasylkiv (Ukraine). The peculiarities of their distribution among urban plant associations, which differ from each other by different characteristics (population, area, degree of urbanization) were determined. Both species - E. finlandicus and K. aberrans have a rather extended range of indicators of relative biotope contiguity (-0.91<Fij<0.43 and -0.93Fij<0.96) that indicated their property to inhabit large number of plants. The indicator of K. aberrans occurrence, which was the highest in the city with the smallest degree of urbanization (Vasylkiv), decreased in the city with the maximum possible degree of urbanization (Kyiv). This indicator of E. finlandicus on the contrary increased along the gradient from a smaller city to the metropolitan city. K. aberrans inhabit a large number of plant species (33 species), while preferred plants from Rosacea family. E. finlandicus dominated by number of urban plant species it inhabited (75 species, 79.78%), absolute number of individuals in collected samples of predatory mites (504), occurrences index (Is = 74.49%), and by index of Palii-Kovnatsi (Di = 51.42%). The dominance of E. finlandicus species was registered in both groups of plants. The distribution of Phytoseiidae’s was primarily connected with the possibility of their movement along the surface of the substrate. Speed of mites moving was not the same in different species and depended on their morphology and plant morphology. Both species lived and laid eggs on the underside of the leaf. K. aberrans was more commonly found near the central vein of the leaf, while E. finlandicus was observed more evenly on the leaf plate, which can be explained by it higher vagility. K. aberrans could inhabit high number on fruit varieties of plants with pubescence leaves. Morphological features of plant leaves did not affect the spread of E. finlandicus species, therefore, they could be considered more "universal". However, it reached a higher quantity on the plants with a smooth surface of a leaf plate. Certain temperature, illumination regime, air and soil humidity caused the differences in mites spreading at various habitats.

“…Phytoseiid mites can also feed on plant sap [48], and in some groups mycophagy has evolved as a supplement to predation [49]. The phytoseiid Euseius finlandicus (Figure 1c) is one of the most significant predators of phytophagous mites worldwide and can also feed on pollen, fungal spores and hyphae, eggs and larvae of insects, honeydew and plant liquids [50]. Trophic relationships between plants, fungi and mites can therefore be highly complex.…”

Food webs on forest trees include plant pathogens, arthropods, and their natural enemies. To increase the understanding of the impact of a plant pathogen on herbivore-natural enemy interactions, we studied the powdery mildew fungus Erysiphe alphitoides, the phytophagous mite Schizotetranychus garmani, and the predatory and mycophagous mite Euseius finlandicus in pedunculate oak (Quercus robur) leaves. In June, July and August of 2016, we assessed the severity of powdery mildew, mite population density and adult female mite size in 30 trees in three forests near Belgrade, Serbia. In August, the infection severity of E. alphitoides related positively to the population density of S. garmani and negatively to the body size of S. garmani females. Throughout the vegetative season, the infection severity of E. alphitoides related positively to the population density of E. finlandicus but not to its body size. The effect of E. alphitoides on the population density and adult size of S. garmani was not mediated by the population density of E. finlandicus, and vice versa. Interactions were consistent in all forests and varied with the summer month. Our findings indicate that E. alphitoides can influence the average body size and population densities of prey and predatory mites studied, irrespective of predator-prey relationships.
