“…The other phytoseiid species were sporadic and usually occurred in low numbers (Table 1). E. finlandicus is also known to occur worldwide on abandoned apple trees (Amano and Chant, 1990) and on many wild plants (Tuovinen and Rokx, 1991). E. finlandicus preys on spider mites and eriophyid mites (Amano and Chant, 1986;Abdallah et al, 2001) and reproduces well when it feeds on pollen and the spores and hyphae of the powdery mildew (Tanigoshi, 1982;Tuovinen and Rokx, 1991;Abdallah et al, 2001).…”

With the exception of seasonal dynamics in 2003, E. finlandicus numbers were low in the spring, and the population then increased gradually to more than 10 adult females per leaf of M. hy- poleuca.…”

The species composition and seasonal dynamics of predatory phytoseiid mites on magnolia, Magnolia hypoleuca, were investigated for 4 y to determine whether M. hypoleuca may act as a source of natural enemies for tetranychid and eriophyid mites on apples. Euseius finlandicus was the most dominant species and formed more than 70% of the mite specimens collected during each year. Amblyseius orientalis was also found consistently as the second dominant species. E. finlandicus was found in low numbers in spring, and its density increased gradually to more than 10 adult females per leaf in autumn. Although the seasonal dynamics of A. orientalis showed some variation depending on the survey years and sites, A. orientalis showed a good predatory ability on Panonychus ulmi, and it developed and reproduced well on this prey in the laboratory.

“…The accidentally occurring P. triporus was recorded only on some of the surveyed oak trees (an average of 0.03 mites per leaf ); in total, it represented only 2.6% of the total number of phytoseiid specimens (subdominant representation). This infrequent species on the surveyed oak leaves has been found on various cultivars in apple orchards in Finland and France (Tuovinen & Rokx 1991;Tixier et al 2014). P. triporus occurs on miscellaneous plants (e.g.…”

Çobanoglu (2004) observed P. triporus in association with Tenuipalpidae and Stigmaeidae.…”

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.

“…Unsprayed trees and shrubs serve as reservoirs for phytoseiids from where they can migrate into nearby coenoses (Tuovinen & Rokx 1991;Strong & Croft 1993). The phytoseiid mite taxocenoses and role of the common phytoseiid species Kampimodromus aberrans in the control of important eriophyid mite pests on hazelnuts cultivated in Mediterranean countries with a favourable climate are well-known (Tsolakis et al 2000;OzmanSullivan 2006).…”

Kabíček J. (2008): Cohabitation and intraleaf distribution of phytoseiid mites (Acari: Phytoseiidae) on leaves of Corylus avellana. Plant Protect. Sci., 44: 32-36.Leaves from uncultivated and unsprayed hazelnut shrubs, Corylus avellana, were sampled from June to August 2005 to obtain information on the phytoseiid mite taxocenoses, population density and intraleaf distribution. Six phytoseiid mite species were identified, of which three, Kampimodromus aberrans, Euseius finlandicus and Neoseiulella tiliarum, were more abundant. The eudominant, slowly moving K. aberrans was found on all leaf samples. Phytoseiid population density averaged 3.16 mites per hazelnut leaf. While on most leaves only one phytoseiid species was found, on some there was cohabitation of two (rarely three) species. The three frequent species mostly inhabited the sheltered microhabitat at the veins of leaves of C. avellana.
