“…On the other hand, when the values of r m was converted to the finite rate of increase (e rm ), it was clear that population of predator had capacity to multiply about (1.24, 1.13 and 1.02) times/female/day when it fed on the mentioned diets, respectively. These results are similar to those obtained by previous studies (Gotoh et al, 2004;Canlas et al, 2006;El Taj and Jung, 2012;Saber, 2012). The r m values are affected not only by the food type but also by the type of the host plant of the prey (Kustutan and Cakmak, 2009).…”

The predator mite Neoseiulus californicus McGregor is an effective predator that is used to control the invasion of Tetranychus urticae Koch on crop plants. Experiments for rearing N. californicus on different food sources were carried out under laboratory condition (25±2ºC, 75+5 % RH). N. californicus was reared on three different food types; two types of phytophagous mites (Tetranychus urticae and Brevipalpus phoenicis Geijskes) and date palm pollens. In response to food type, the periods of N. californicus immature stages were 4.79, 8.14, and 11.79 days for females and 3.93, 6.71, and 10.71 days for males when fed on T. urticae, B. phoenicis, and date palm pollen, respectively. The developmental periods (life cycle) of both female and male individuals were longer when they fed on date palm pollen (14.07, 12.86 days for females and males respectively) compared with 6.93, 5.79 days for females and males in case of feeding on T. urticae and 10.29, 8.79 days for those reared on B. phoenicis. N. californicus males completed their developmental stages on the studied food types successfully ,however, N. californicus females were significantly affected by the type of food, which recorded the highest number of eggs per each female when fed on T. urticae (32.14 eggs), followed by females that fed on B. phoenicis and date palm pollen (13.29 and 3.86 eggs, respectively). Obtained results provide alternatives of T. urticae to rear N. californicus for mass production although the efficiency was not the same.

“…However, it has been a debate regarding whether N. californicus is a specialist? Although showing strong preferences for Tetranychus spp., this species also feeds on multiple species of mites and insects, and even on pollens (Pena and Osborne 1996;Easterbrook 2001;Rahmani et al 2009;Saber 2012). It also shares some other features with generalists, such as being able to complete life cycle on immatures of other predatory mites (Walzer and Schausberger 1999a, b;Croft 1999, 2000), and having short mid-dorsal setae etc.…”

Life style of phytoseiid species (Acari: Mesostigmata) is an important feature in evaluating their potential as biological control agents. Previous studies suggested that some morphometrics of gnathosoma are related to the feeding habits of phytoseiids. In this study, we showed it is appropriate to estimate feeding habits and/or life styles of phytoseiids based on variations in gnathosoma morphology. Scanning electron microscope pictures of 10 phytoseiid species belonging to four major life styles were taken. For each species, 23 morphometrics of gnathosoma and the length of dorsal shield were measured. Principle Component Analysis (PCA) showed that the 10 species can be divided into three groups based on the first two principle components of these parameters. The 1 st group includes one specialized predators of Tetranychus species (Phytoseiulus persimilis) and two selective predators of tetranychid mites (Neoseiulus pseudolongispinosus, Neoseiulus californicus), the 2 nd group includes six generalist predators (Amblyseius orientalis, Amblyseius swirskii, Amblyseius tsugawai, Neoseiulus barkeri, Neoseiulus bicaudus, Neoseiulus cucumeris), and the 3 rd group includes one specialized pollen feeder (Euseius utilis). This grouping is consistent with the life style division of McMurtry & Croft (1997), except that Type I and II were not separated. However, there is a trend that both Type II species were closer to each other. Overall, species in Group II have larger chelicerae and hypostome than those of Group I and III, while species in Group III have larger lobes and angle of fixed digit than those of the other two groups.

“…In our study, low r-value (0.10 day -1 ) in 'Gaviota' and 'Yalova' is probably due to low nutritional value of these plants for prey leading to low performance of predator and/or reduced consumption rate. The value of r when N. californicus was reared on T. urticae eggs and maize pollen was 0.17 and 0.23 day -1 , respectively (Saber, 2012). When N. californicus was fed on immature of T. urticae, it , s r-value (0.154 day -1 ) was lower than that obtained on the almond pollen (0.232 day -1 ) or maize pollen (0.179 day -1 ) (Khanamani et al, 2016).…”

Neoseiulus californicus (McGregor) is a predatory mite that can control spider mites. The effect of seven strawberry cultivars (including: 'Marak', 'Yalova', 'Aliso', 'Gaviota', 'Sequoia', 'Camarosa' and 'Chandler') on the growth and development of N. californicus was studied in the laboratory conditions (27 ± 1 °C, 70 ± 5% RH and 16L: 8D photoperiod). There was significant difference in the number of trichomes on the leaves of strawberry cultivars. Life table parameters were analyzed based on age stage, two sex life table. Egg incubation and protonymphal duration were significantly different when the predator was reared on different cultivars. There was no significant difference of total longevity among different cultivars. The longest preoviposition period was observed on 'Aliso' (1.70 days). The fecundity rate on 'Gaviota' and 'Sequioa' (6.90 and 8.91 eggs, respectively) was lower than other cultivars tested. The highest intrinsic rate of increase (0.20 day-1) and fecundity rates (13.29 eggs) were on 'Chandler', which might be due to the higher nutritional quality of Tetranychus urticae Koch reared on it or its low density of trichomes. Among the seven strawberry cultivars 'Sequoia', 'Gaviota' and 'Yalova' were recognized unsuitable for development and reproduction of N. californicus.
