“…The phytoseiid mite Kampimodromus aberrans (Oudemans) is an important biological control agent of several plant-feeding mites such as Eotetranychus carpini (Oudemans) (Duso 1989;Schausberger 1997;Tixier et al 1998Tixier et al , 2006Kreiter et al 2002) and Phytoptus avellanae Nalepa (Ozman-Sullivan 2006). In Greece, it is found on various forest and orchard trees as well as on non-cultivated plants and occasionally on vine (Papadoulis 1993;Koveos unpublished data).…”

Effect of mating frequency on fecundity and longevity of the predatory mite Kampimodromus aberrans (Acari: Phytoseiidae)

The effect of single versus multiple mating on longevity and fecundity as well as the number of matings required to maximize a female's reproductive success of the predatory mite Kampimodromus aberrans Oudemans were studied under laboratory conditions. Newly emerged adult females of the stock colony of K. aberrans were placed individually on a bean leaf disc, and maintained at 25 degrees C and 16:8 LD. A young male remained with a female for limited periods or continuously. Mating was a requisite for oocyte maturation and oviposition. Females which mated three to four times during their life and females in continuous presence of males, laid significantly and considerably more eggs than single-mated females. Virgin females lived the longest, and those in continuous presence of males the shortest. In all cases and irrespective of the number of matings, the sex ratio of the offspring was male-biased in the first three to four days of oviposition period, and female-biased in later days.

“…Estimating life and fecundity tables of the predator and prey are essential to evaluate the efficiency and potentiality of a natural enemy on a definite pest (Gabre et al, 2005;Ozman-Sullivan, 2006;Collier et al, 2007;Reis et al, 2007;Ferrero et al, 2007;Broufas et al, 2007). Our results revealed that at immature stages of P. citri, the net reproductive rate (Ro) and Intrinsic rate of natural increase (rm)of N. californicus showed high values, unlike other stages and the mean generation time of predator showed low value when provided mobile immatures as prey.…”

The life history and predation rate of the predatory mite, Neoseiulus californicus (Mc-Gregor) on the citrus red mite, Panonychus citri (Mc-Gregor) were studied under laboratory conditions at 25°C and 60-70% R.H. All movable stages of the predator were able to devour all different stages of P. citri. Average consumption rates of eggs, larvae, protonymphs, deutonymphs and adult males and females of P. citri by the predator larva were 0.8 ±0.71, 0.7 ±0.32, 0.5 ±0.40, 0.3 ±0.23, 0.2 ±0.10 and 0.3 ±0.23 prey individuals, respectively. These values increased with predator development from protonymph to adult. The predator adult female devoured 7.8 ±1.12, 7.5 ±0.86, 5.0±1.30, 3.7 ±0.86, 2.5±3.20 and 5.1 ±0.86 prey individuals; while those for male were 5.5 ±0.72, 5.5 ±0.86, 4.3 ±1.40, 3.6 ±0.86, 3.0 ±2.4 and 4.0 ±0.86 prey individuals for the previous prey stages, respectively. Thus, the predator adult female ate more than any other stage. In addition, the eggs and larvae, compared to other stages of P. citri, were the most consumed by all different predator stages; this raised the predator fecundity unlike the adult stage of the prey. Predation rate, life cycle, and oviposition periods varied depending on prey stages. The intrinsic rate of natural increase (rm) was higher on prey immatures and eggs than on prey adult females, which were 0.149, 0.092 and 0.042, respectively. Results indicated the effectiveness of N. californicus as an important biological control agent against P. citri.

“…Six phytoseiid species were found on Q. cerris leaves (Kolodochka 1978;Miedema 1987;McMurtry & Croft 1997;Duso et al 2004;Ripka 2006;Kabíček 2008;McMurtry et al 2013). K. aberrans was regularly sampled on vines in productive vineyards (Tixier et al 2000), and it is a common and frequently observed phytoseiid species in apple and hazelnut orchards (Ozman-Sullivan 2006;Tixier et al 2014). The abundant occurrence of K. aberrans on the inspected oak trees could indicate that Q. cerris is the favoured host plant for this generalist species.…”

Kabíček J. (2017): Phytoseiid mites on Quercus cerris in an urban park -short communication. Plant Protect. Sci., 53: 181-186.The community of phytoseiid mites on the leaves of non-indigenous Quercus cerris was studied in an intensively managed urban park during the years 2012-2014. Five phytoseiid species, namely Kampimodromus aberrans, Typhloseiulus peculiaris, euseius finlandicus, Typhlodromus (Typhlodromus) pyri, and Paraseiulus triporus, were found on the studied oak leaves; three of them are generalist predators. K. aberrans and T. peculiaris were the dominant species (88.5% of all sampled phytoseiids), of which K. aberrans was the significantly most abundant species on the inspected oak leaves. Non-native Q. cerris can serve as a favourable host plant and refuge for certain phytoseiid species in environmentally unfriendly urban areas.
