In Tosayamada, Kochi Prefecture, Japan, females in the field stop producing yellowish-white summer eggs by early November, and after several weeks of reproductive arrest, they produce bright orange winter eggs, from late November or early December until March, when they die. In this study, adult female sensitivity to day-length conditions was evaluated at the beginning of the season in which they produce winter eggs. Females collected from the field in late November and early December were reared under one of two sets of day-length conditions (10L:14D or 15L:9D) for 16 days at either 15°C or 25°C. Both groups of field-collected females increased their winter-egg production under long day-length conditions, and December females laid significantly more eggs than November females at 25°C. In contrast, females from the laboratory strain produced summer eggs at the higher temperature, but were not sensitive to day length. The trend whereby long daylength conditions promote the production of winter eggs might partly explain the field observation that the number of winter eggs increases during the period over which day length increases, towards the vernal equinox (late March).","PeriodicalId":171325,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Acarological Society of Japan","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130195036","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to public concerns about the risk of chemical controls, there is a high demand for biological control agents to reduce tick populations and the spread of tick-borne diseases. In this study, we observed tick predation by the pseudoscorpion Megachernes ryugadensis in a laboratory for the first time. Adult and tritonymphal M. ryugadensis were collected in the field during phoresis on Japanese wood mice and transferred to a Petri dish. These pseudoscorpions preyed on larval Haemaphysalis ticks and nymphal and adult Haemaphysalis megaspinosa. Most pseudoscorpions fed on two to three larval ticks on the first day following tick transfer. There were no significant differences between male and female pseudoscorpions in the numbers of larval ticks consumed or the numbers of days required to consume all ticks. Although there was no significant difference between the numbers of days to consume nymphal and adult male ticks, male pseudoscorpions consumed adult female ticks significantly faster than did female pseudoscorpions. Although the sample sizes in this study were small, the tritonymphal pseudoscorpion displayed similar trends in the predation of larval and nymphal ticks. Further study is required to obtain detailed information on the life history traits of the tick and pseudoscorpion and the impacts of the tick on small rodents and their nest fauna to determine the role of M. ryugadensis as a natural enemy of ticks.","PeriodicalId":171325,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Acarological Society of Japan","volume":"54 5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127455416","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Some of them have evolved specialized acarinaria (mite chambers) on their body and harbor more or less specific groups of mites in them. Female carpenter bees of the genus Xylocopa are well known for having a metasomal acarinarium of various levels of specialization (Hurd and Moure, 1963; Eardley, 1983; Klimov and OConnor, 2008). In particular, female carpenter bees of the subgenera Koptortosoma and Mesotrichia have a distinct acarinarium on the first metasomal tergite (T1), which is the “largest known” (Klimov et al., 2007) acarinarium in insects. The metasomal acarinarium is a spacious chamber occupying a large portion in the first metasomal segment and is connected to the bee’s exterior through a small aperture on its anterior surface, and it harbors species-specific mites of the genus Dinogamasus (Klimov et al., 2007). Although the female metasomal acarinarium of Koptortosoma and Mesotrichia has long been known, its detailed structures have been described in only a few species including Xylocopa (Mesotrichia) caffra L. (Skaife, 1952) and Xylocopa (Mesotrichia) flavorufa (DeGeer) (Madel, 1975) from Africa. Detailed information regarding the morphology of the acarinaria in as many species as possible is indispensable to understand the evolution of the structure and the interrelationship between bees and mites. The carpenter bee Xylocopa (Koptortosoma) ruficeps Friese, distributed in the Oriental region (Hurd and Moure, 1963), has also been reported to possess a distinct metasomal acarinarium (Okabe and Makino, 2005).

Although some phytoseiid mites are considered effective predators in agroecosystems, their small size makes it difficult to confirm predation through field observation. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) can be an effective detection technique and has been used commonly in studies on microfaunal predator-prey interactions. However, preliminary data revealed that ordinary agarose gel electrophoresis cannot detect PCR products from phytoseiid mites that consumed spider-mite eggs. In this study, I used fluorescent-labeled primers and genetic analyzers to successfully amplify the gut contents of phytoseiid mites and confirmed they were derived from spider-mite eggs based on fragment analysis. The results indicated that spidermite eggs can be detected ≥24 h post-oviposition, but not within 3 h. Thus, fluorescent PCR is an effective tool for elucidating predator-prey interactions among microfaunal food chains.","PeriodicalId":171325,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Acarological Society of Japan","volume":"191 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130811630","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, significant losses of European honey bee (Apis mellifera) populations due to diseases and attacks by parasitic mites could result in failure of crops requiring pollination an estimated 35% of the human diet. Currently, the development of alternative, non-Apis pollinators is underway. Of these, mason bees (Osmia spp.) and bumblebees (Bombus spp.) are the most important. As the pollinator trade increases worldwide, the opportunity for introductions of new harmful mites and/or host switching also substantially increases (Goka, 2010; Goka et al., 2001, 2006). In addition to the direct threat posed by parasitic mites, mites colonizing new hosts may spread harmful pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria, and fungi (Cornman et al., 2010). Only quarantine measures can prevent this situation. Unfortunately, implementing these measures is difficult because bee-associated mites are understudied, the taxonomic information is scattered, incomplete and difficult to access by the non-specialist, and few revisionary works are available. As an example, our survey of published literature records yielded 715 species, 219 genera, and 89 families of known bee-associated mites, most of which are known from honey bees (294 species) or bumblebees (91 species). For many of these mites, the geographical distributions, host ranges, and their basic biology (e.g., mites’ roles in bee-mite associations: harmful, nearly neutral, or mutualistic) are unknown. As a result of this impediment, the likelihood of potential cross-border travel of harmful bee mites greatly increases. This is a critical flaw that needs to be remedied by developing a computer-assisted identification system accessible on a worldwide","PeriodicalId":171325,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Acarological Society of Japan","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115743447","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
