“…Here we explore several methods of species delimitations, the threshold-based ABGD [14], the multispecies coalescent-based BPP, STACEY and PHRAPL, as well as other algorithms, GMYC [24] and PTP [25]. Our specific goal was to evaluate the species status of mostly host-specific populations of scab mites of the genus Caparinia (family Psoroptidae) parasitizing two species of hedgehogs, the European hedgehog Erinaceus europaeus and the African hedgehog Atelerix albiventris [26–30]; the latter species being a popular pet throughout the world. K2P cox 1 distances between the two populations were 7.48–7.77% (our data).…”

Cox1 barcoding versus multilocus species delimitation: validation of two mite species with contrasting effective population sizes

BackgroundThe cox1-barcoding approach is currently extensively used for high-throughput species delimitation and discovery. However, this method has several limitations, particularly when organisms have large effective population sizes. Paradoxically, most common, abundant, and widely distributed species may be misclassified by this technique.ResultsWe conducted species delimitation analyses for two host-specific lineages of scab mites of the genus Caparinia, having small population sizes. Cox1 divergence between these lineages was high (7.4–7.8%) while that of nuclear genes was low (0.06–0.53%). This system was contrasted with the medically important American house dust mite, Dermatophagoides farinae, a globally distributed species with very large population size. This species has two distinct, sympatric cox1 lineages with 4.2% divergence. We tested several species delimitation algorithms PTP, GMYC, ABGD, BPP, STACEY and PHRAPL, which inferred different species boundaries for these entities. Notably, STACEY recovered the Caparinia lineages as two species and D. farinae as a single species. BPP agreed with these results when the prior on ancestral effective population sizes was set to expected values, although delimitation of Caparinia was still equivocal. No other cox1 species delimitation algorithms inferred D. farinae as a single species, despite the fact that the nuclear CPW2 gene shows some evidence for introgression between the cox1 groups. This indicates that the cox1-barcoding approach may result in excessive species splitting.ConclusionsOur research highlights the importance of using nuclear genes and demographic characteristics to infer species boundaries rather than relying on a single-gene barcoding approach, particularly for putative species having large effective population sizes.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1186/s13071-018-3242-5) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…Using astigmatid mites as food supplement has the advantage that they are relatively cheap (Ramakers and van Lieburg, 1982;Castagnoli, 1989). The main drawback of mass application of astigmatid mites lies in the fact that they can cause health issues for users including dermatitis, allergies and anaphylaxis (Iglesias-Souto et al, 2009;Fernández-Caldas et al, 2014;Liu and Zhang, 2017;Mullen and O'Connor, 2019;Pirayeshfar et al, 2020).

Repeated mass introductions of natural enemies have been widely used as a biological control strategy in greenhouse systems when the resident population of natural enemies is insufficient to suppress the pests. As an alternative strategy, supporting the establishment and population development of beneficials can be more effective and economical. The preventative establishment of predators and parasitoids, before the arrival of pests, has become a key element to the success of biological control programs. This “Predators and parasitoids-in-first” strategy is used both in Inoculative Biological Control (IBC), and in Conservation Biological Control (CBC). Here, we provide an overview of tools used to boost resident populations of biocontrol agents.

“…Chirodiscoides caviae kobayların en yaygın akarlarından olup, küçük genellikle zararsız tüy akarlarıdır. Önceleri Listrophoridae ailesinde (1) incelenen bu tür artık Atopomelidae ailesinde yer almaktadır (2)(3)(4). Gnathosoma'nın üstündeki tegmen uzantısının olmaması ve çizgili ön koksalarının konağın kılına kadar uzamamasından dolayı Listorophoridae ailesindeki akarlardan ayrılırlar (2).…”
