“…Similar responses were seen when animals were exposed to other types putrescentiae in relation to lifespan for females of stress. For example, exposure to both extreme nonlethal chilling and heat decreased the longevities of females (Søvik and Leinaas 2003;Jiao et al 2016;Zhang et al 2016), but repeated exposure to transient heat, which was relatively mild, showed totally opposite results (Hercus et al 2003;Zheng et al 2017). Li and Zhang (2019) showed that the effects of predation stress on prey lifespan were sex-specific: only prey (T. urticae) females had reduced lifespan when exposed predation stress from P. persimilis.…”

In predator–prey interactions, non-consumptive effects of predators have been less studied than consumptive effects. However, non-consumptive effects may have significant influences on prey and can change different aspects of their life history such as development, reproduction and lifespan. The odour and other cues associated with a predator, without direct contact, could induce stress in prey, leading to phenotypic changes in life history traits. In this study, we investigate how mild and strong predator-induced stress could affect prey life history. The prey (Tyrophagus putrescentiae) was exposed, from hatching to death, to three different levels of predation stress from its predator (Neoseiulus cucumeris) (1, 3 or 5 predator adults in an adjacent cage separated by a mesh screen). Compared with the control, both males and females under predator-induced stress had longer developmental time and shorter lifespan when the level of predation stress increased, showing significant level-dependence. In addition, females had reduced fecundity under predation stress. Sex-specific response to predation stress was observed under a low level of predation stress: females had greater reduction in lifespan than males. Furthermore, the reduction in female lifespan was due more from the decrease in the post-oviposition period than the decrease in the oviposition period. Future studies applying even milder levels of predation press, such as exposure of prey to predator cues only during part of the prey lifespan, may provide additional insights.

“…For example, extreme nonlethal chilling and heat could decrease the lifespans of females (Søvik & Leinaas, 2003; Jiao et al. , 2016; Zhang et al. , 2016), but repeated transient heat or fluctuated heat and cold effects were relatively mild, and could have positive effects on lifespans (Hercus et al.…”

“…Although there have been only a few studies on the effects of predation stress on prey lifespan and aging, similar lines of research examining other factors such heat/cold stress are well known. For example, extreme nonlethal chilling and heat could decrease the lifespans of females (Søvik & Leinaas, 2003;Jiao et al, 2016;Zhang et al, 2016), but repeated transient heat or fluctuated heat and cold effects were relatively mild, and could have positive effects on lifespans (Hercus et al, 2003;Søvik & Leinaas, 2003;Torson et al, 2015;Zheng et al, 2017). Also, repeat short-period fasting (relatively mild) was known to be positive to lifespans (Varady & Hellerstein, 2007;Colman et al, 2009Colman et al, , 2014Singh et al, 2012;Caramoci et al, 2016;Li & Zhang, 2019b).…”

“…Many studies, which focused on factors such as temperature and fasting, showed similar trends. Exposure to both extreme nonlethal chilling and heat decreased the lifespans of females (Søvik & Leinaas, 2003;Ayar et al, 2009;Mironidis & Savopoulou-Soultani, 2010;Wang et al, 2014;Jiao et al, 2016;Zhang et al, 2016). However, repeated exposure to heat or cold stress could generate totally opposite results of increased lifespan and heat resistance (Hercus et al, 2003;Søvik & Leinaas, 2003;Defays et al, 2011;Sarup et al, 2014;Zheng et al, 2017).…”

Prey life stages modulate effects of predation stress on prey lifespan, development, and reproduction in mites

The non‐consumptive effects of predator‐induced stress can influence a variety of life‐history traits. Many previous studies focused only on short‐term effects such as development and reproductive rates. Recent studies have showed that long‐term predation stress (given during the whole life of the prey) and short‐term predation stress (provided during the immature stage of the prey) could generate completely opposite results: the former could decrease lifespan, whereas the later could increase lifespan. However, it is still unclear whether the advantage is because of the short duration of exposure or the early stage of life during which exposure was exerted. Thus, in this study, the prey (Tyrophagus putrescentiae) was exposed to predation stress from the predator (Neoseiulus cucumeris) during different life stages (larva, protonymph, tritonymph, first 5 d of oviposition, the full lifespan or none of the above). The results showed that the predation stress supplied during larval and protonymphal stage delayed development, reduced fecundity and prolonged lifespan of the prey, while the stress given during tritonymphal stage only reduced lifespan slightly and the stress given during the first 5 d of oviposition did not change lifespan but reduced fecundity. This study indicated that the effects of predation stress are dependent on prey life stage and the predation stress experienced in the early life stages is important to lifespan modulation.

“…Common tree genera in this region, such as Chamaecyparis , Cryptomeria , Pinus , and Quercus , are not listed as host plants for this species (CABI, 2022); however, the positive impact of forest area on T. urticae occurrence may be attributed to forests serving as suitable overwintering environments. Forests provide sheltered habitats for many arthropods to overwinter (Leather et al, 1995), and this may also be true for T. urticae , as low temperatures can reduce T. urticae population sizes (Jiao et al, 2016; Khodayari et al, 2013; Lee et al, 2015). During winter, the suitability of forests as overwintering sites may be more important than their suitability as a food source.…”

The two‐spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acarina, Tetranychidae), is a notorious agricultural pest known for its high dispersal ability. Understanding the dispersal patterns of T. urticae is crucial for studying its population dynamics and assessing the risk of gene dispersal related to acaricide resistance. We investigated the impact of surrounding landscapes on T. urticae occurrence and detected gene flow between nearby apple orchards. Land use data within 0.2–2 km radius buffers of the orchards were extracted and summarized using principal component analysis. The effects of landscape composition on the occurrence of T. urticae in apple orchards were analyzed using a hierarchical Bayesian model that considers spatial autocorrelation. In addition, we conducted a population genetic analysis on samples collected from five orchards. The results indicate that the best model was one at a 200‐m scale, revealing a positive correlation between forest area ratio and T. urticae occurrence. The population genetic analysis demonstrated distinct genetic structures within T. urticae populations across different orchards. However, we estimated gene flow among some orchards that were geographically close. These findings suggest that T. urticae may migrate from surrounding landscapes, particularly forests, and nearby orchards to apple orchards. These findings have substantial implications for developing control units based on the gene flow range of the two‐spotted spider mite, as well as for assessing the risk of infestation in each orchard.
