“…The phytoseiid Amblyseius swirskii (Athias-Henriot) (Chant and McMurtry, 2004) has recently been shown capable of suppressing populations of the tobacco whitefly (Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius)) (Nomikou et al, 2001;Nomikou et al, 2002). Euseius ovalis (Evans), another species of predatory mite, also feeds and reproduces on a diet of B. tabaci (Borah and Rai, 1989).…”

AbstractWe studied the capacity of one species of predator to control two major pests of greenhouse crops, Western flower thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande)) and the greenhouse whitefly (Trialeurodes vaporariorum (Westwood)). In such a one-predator-two-prey system, indirect interactions can occur between the two pest species, such as apparent competition and apparent mutualism. Whereas apparent competition is desired because it brings pest levels down, apparent mutualism is not, because it does the opposite. Because apparent competition and apparent mutualism occurs at different time scales, it is important to investigate the effects of a shared natural enemy on biological control on a time scale relevant for crop growth. We evaluated the control efficacy of the predatory mites Amblyseius swirskii (Athias-Henriot) and Euseius ovalis (Evans) in cucumber crops in greenhouse compartments with only thrips, only whiteflies or both herbivorous insects together. Each of the two predators controlled thrips, but A. swirskii reduced thrips densities the most. There was no effect of the presence of whiteflies on thrips densities. Whitefly control by each of the two predators in absence of thrips was not sufficient, yet better with E. ovalis. However, whitefly densities in presence of thrips were reduced dramatically, especially by A. swirskii. The densities of predators were up to 15 times higher in presence of both pests than in the single-pest treatments. Laboratory experiments with A. swirskii suggest that this is due to a higher juvenile survival and developmental rate on a mixed diet. Hence, better control may be achieved not only because of apparent competition, but also through a positive effect of mixed diets on predator population growth. This latter phenomenon deserves more attention in experimental and theoretical work on biological control and apparent competition.

“…Amblyseius vitis sp. nov. belongs to the andersoni-group by having the spermatheca with calyx dish-, cup-, bell-or V-shaped, with the length/width ratio at the mid-point of the calyx < 3.0:1.0 (Chant & McMurtry 2004).…”

“…The specimens showed characteristic features of the genus Amblyseius as described in Chant and McMurtry (2004), including long setae s4, Z4 and Z5 and short setae z2, z4, Z1, S2, S4, S5, and dorsocentral setae on the dorsal shield; smooth surface of dorsal and ventrianal shields; and 3 macrosetae on leg IV (Fig. 1).…”

“…Among 113 species in the andersoni species subgroup (Chant and McMurtry, 2004), specimens were identified as A. andersoni by the length of s4, Z4 and Z5 setae on the dorsal shield, and the shape of the spermatheca. Measurements of the shields and setae of the present specimens, A. andersoni (original description and redescription) and junior synonyms of A. andersoni (A. britannicus, A. reflexus, A. potentillae, and A. meghriensis; their synonymy was reviewed in Chant and Yoshida-Shaul [1990]), are shown in Table 2.…”
