Prenatal Chemosensory Learning by the Predatory Mite Neoseiulus californicus
BACKGROUND Prenatal or embryonic learning, behavioral change following experience made prior to birth, may have significant consequences for postnatal foraging behavior in a wide variety of animals, including mammals, birds, fish, amphibians, and molluscs. However, prenatal learning has not been previously shown in arthropods such as insects, spiders and mites. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS ...
متن کاملSpectrum-specific UV egg damage and dispersal responses in the phytoseiid predatory mite Neoseiulus californicus (Acari: Phytoseiidae).
Solar ultraviolet-B (UVB) radiation is deleterious to plant-dwelling mites. Neoseiulus californicus (McGregor) is a predominant predator of agriculturally important pest species of spider mite. However, phytoseiid mites are more vulnerable to UVB radiation than spider mites. Thus, the UVB radiation may influence decision making in foraging phytoseiid mites whether disperse or not. We tested the...
متن کاملrepeatability of aggressiveness against con-and heterospecific prey in the predatory mite neoseiulus californicus (acari: phytoseiidae)
repeatability, (the consistency with which a given trait is expressed) of aggressiveness against prey (attack latency) in gravid females of the predatory mite neoseiulus californicus (mcgregor) was examined. in two experiments, prey - conspecific individuals, the onion thrips thrips tabaci (lindeman), and the two-spotted spider mite tetranychus urticae koch- were repeatedly offered in various n...
متن کاملlife table parameters of the predatory mite neoseiulus californicus (mcgregor) on different strawberry cultivars in the laboratory conditions
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 nu...
متن کاملFunctional and Numerical Responses of the Predatory Mite, Neoseiulus longispinosus, to the Red Spider Mite, Oligonychus Coffeae, Infesting Tea
Functional and numerical responses of the predatory mite, Neoseiulus longispinosus (Evans) (Acari: Phytoseiidae) to the red spider mite, Oligonychus coffeae Nietner (Acari: Tetranychidae), infesting tea were determined in a laboratory on leaf discs. Prey consumption increased with increases in temperature and prey density. Handling time decreased and successful attack rate increased with increa...
