  • Diapause and Quiescence As Two Main Kinds of Dormancy and Their Significance in Life Cycles of Mites and Ticks (Chelicerata: Arachnida: Acari)
    Acarina 17 (1): 3–32 © Acarina 2009 DIAPAUSE AND QUIESCENCE AS TWO MAIN KINDS OF DORMANCY AND THEIR SIGNIFICANCE IN LIFE CYCLES OF MITES AND TICKS (CHELICERATA: ARACHNIDA: ACARI). PART 2. PARASITIFORMES V. N. Belozerov Biological Research Institute, St. Petersburg State University, Peterhof 198504, Russia; e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: Concerning the problem of life history and such an important its aspect as seasonality of life cycles and their control enabled by dormant stages, the parasitiform mites reveal the obvious similarity with the acariform mites. This concerns the pres- ence of both main kinds of dormancy (diapause and quiescence). The great importance in the seasonal control of life cycles in some parasitiform mites, like in acariform mites, belongs also for combinations of diapause with non-diapause arrests, particularly with the post-diapause quiescence (PDQ). This type of quiescence evoked after termination of diapause and enabling more accu- rate time-adjustment in recommencement of active development, is characteristic of both lineages of the Parasitiformes — Ixodida and Mesostigmata (particularly Gamasida). The available data show that in ixodid ticks the PDQ may be resulted similarly after developmental and behavioral diapause. Reproductive diapause combined with the PDQ is characteristic of some gamasid mites (particularly the family Phytoseiidae), while most gamasid and uropodid mites with phoretic dispersal reveal the dormant state (apparently of diapause nature) at the deutonymphal stage. The uncertainty between diapause and non-diapause dormancy is retained in some many cases (even in ixodid ticks and phytoseiid mites), and the necessity of further thorough study of different forms of diapause and non-diapause arrests in representatives of the Acari is noted therefore.

In Europe, it is an indige- nous species, commonly found on various plants, including conifers. The present study examined whether A. andersoni can develop and reproduce while feeding on two key pests of ornamental coniferous plants, i.e., Oligonychus ununguis (Jacobi) and Pentamerismus taxi (Haller). Pinus sylvestris L. pollen was also tested as an alternative food source for the predator. Both prey species and pine pollen were suitable food sources for A. andersoni. Although higher values of population parameters Citation: Puchalska, E.; were observed when the predator fed on mites compared to the pollen alternative, we conclude that Zagrodzki, S.K.; Kozak, M.; pine pollen may provide adequate sustenance for A.

(eds) Acarology XIII: Proceedings of the International Congress. Zoosymposia, 6, 1–304. Abstract Damages caused by pests to leaves can indirectly affect populations of other associated arthropods. The relative abun - dance of mites was compared across young healthy leaves, mature healthy leaves and mature leaves damaged by the citrus leafminer, Phyllocnistis citrella Stainton, on grapefruit in Florida and Texas. The spider mite Eotetranychus sex - maculatus (Riley) (Tetranychidae) was significantly more abundant on mined leaves in Florida, whereas in Texas tetranychids were found sporadically. Predaceous phytoseiid mites (Phytoseiidae) were significantly more abundant on mature mined leaves than on mature leaves without mines. Iphiseiodes quadripilis (Banks) (n= 139), Typhlodromalus peregrinus (Muma) (n= 122) and Euseius mesembrinus (Dean) (n= 18) were the most abundant phy - toseiids in Florida; E. mesembrinus was the dominant species in Texas [>90% of identified specimens (n=13)]. Although relatively high numbers of predaceous stigmaeid mites (Stigmaeidae) were found in some occasions in Florida, they had a patchy distribution, resulting in no significant differences between mined and unmined leaf types in most sampling dates.

Here we present the results of four experiments conducted in vineyards where the effects of chlorpyrifos, thiamethoxam, indoxacarb, flufenoxuron, and tebufenozide were evaluated on the generalist predatory mites Typhlodromus pyri Scheuten and Amblyseius andersoni (Chant), key biocontrol agents of herbivorous mites on grapevines. Results show that indoxacarb and tebufenozide had a low impact on the predatory mites considered here, while a significant impact was observed for chlorpyrifos, flufenoxuron, and thiamethoxam. The information obtained here should be considered in the design of IPM strategies on grapevine.

Viticulture is characterized by relatively high pesticide inputs, which could decrease arthropod populations and biological pest control in vineyards. This problem could be counteracted with management practices such as the implementation of diverse vegetation cover in the vineyard inter-rows, reduced pesticide input in integrated or organic vineyards, and a di- verse landscape with trees and hedges.

    Establishment potential of non-native glasshouse biological control agents, with emphasis on Typhlodromips montdorensis (Schicha) (Acari: Phytoseiidae) in the UK by Ian Stuart Hatherly A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of Biosciences The University of Birmingham September 2004 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract Typhlodromips montdorensis is a non-native predatory mite used for control of red spider mite and thrips, but is not yet licensed for use in the UK. Current legislation requires that non-native glasshouse biological control agents may not be introduced into the UK without a risk assessment of establishment potential outside of the glasshouse environment. This work focuses on the application of a recently developed protocol to assess the establishment potential of T. montdorensis in the UK. Further, the use of alternative prey outside the glasshouse by, Macrolophus caliginosus is examined, and interactions between Neoseiulus californicus, Typhlodromus pyri and T. montdorensis are investigated. Laboratory results demonstrate that T. montdorensis has a developmental threshold of 10.7°C, lacks cold tolerance and is unable to enter diapause when tested under two different regimes.

The aller- gens are excreted through their faeces and the control of mites and the elimination of the produced allergens could alle- viate and allergic symptoms. For this purpose, the relative humidity should be kept below 50% at home, as higher humid- ity enhances the development of HDMs. The biggest attention should be given to the bedroom, and especially to the bed. Mattresses, upholstered furniture, and heavy carpets are the most important biotopes of HDMs and should be regularly vacuumed, treated with acaricides and/or exposed to sunlight. Allergen-tight sheets and pillow covers which do not permit the allergens existing on the mattress or pillows to come in direct contact with the patient should be used. Sheets, blankets, pillowcases and bedcovers should be washed every 2-3 weeks at 60°C and above.
