“…The benefits of a high RH on survival during cold storage were reported for adult female phytoseiid mites (Morewood ; Ghazy et al. ,b,c), but the benefit in adult males was not previously investigated. In this study, the survival of the males was higher under 100% RH than 80% RH during storage (fig.…”

“…We found that eggs stored at high relative humidity and temperatures 6°C or lower had the least weight loss, probably because the high relative humidity prevented moisture loss and thus lengthened period that the eggs remained suitable for parasitization. Other studies have reported high survival rates of phytoseiid and predatory mites stored at low temperature and high relative humidity (Morewood, 1992;Ghazy et al, 2012), probably also due to reduced water loss.…”
