Effects of combination between web density and size of spider mite on predation by a generalist and a specialist phytoseiid mite

Abstract: Complicated three-dimensional webs of silk threads produced by Tetranychus spider mites provide protection from predation by many generalist phytoseiid mite species. Accessibility to prey may be the most significant criterion for successful predation in complicated webs. To assess the protective effects of combination between web size and density, we compared predation on eggs of the two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae, by a generalist (Euseius sojaensis) and a specialist (Neoseiulus womersleyi) phyto… Show more

“…In heavily infected plants, fine cobweb-like threads between the cassava leaves serve as a bridge for transferring mites from one leaf to another or from one plant to another. The line also helps to protect mites from predators (Iwasa and Osakabe, 2015;Sato et al, 2016).…”
