Abstract Gut content analysis using molecular techniques can help elucidate predator‐prey relationships in situations which other methodologies are not feasible, such as the case of trophic interactions between minute species mites. We designed species‐specific primers for a mite community occurring Spanish citrus orchards comprising two herbivores, Tetranychidae Tetranychus urticae and Panonychus citri , six predatory mites belonging to Phytoseiidae family; these considered be herbivores’...
Predatory mites of the Phytoseiidae family are considered one most important groups natural enemies used in biological control. The behavioral patterns arthropods can differ greatly daily and seasonally; however, there is a lack literature related to diel seasonal predation patterns. predatory activity three phytoseiid species (two Tetranychidae-specialists, Phytoseiulus persimilis Neoseiulus californicus, omnivore, Euseius stipulatus) that occur naturally Spanish citrus orchards was...
Acari harbor numerous minute species of agricultural economic importance, mainly Tetranychidae and Phytoseiidae. Great efforts have been established by means recovering morphological, molecular, phylogenetic traits for identification. Traditional identification still relies on external diagnostic characters, which are limited usually exhibit large phenotypic plasticity within the species, rendering them useless delimitation We decided to increase number sequences mitochondrial COI...
