(Vitaceae), used in producing juices and wines. The present work aimed to identify the mite species associated with American grapevines (V. labrusca), their possible natural enemies, and their population fluctuations. The selected varieties were: Bordô (Bd) and Couderc (Cc and Cd) in Dois Lajeados (RS), Bordô (Bi) in Imigrante (RS) and Bordô (Bp), in Putinga (RS). The study was conducted monthly between March 2017 and March 2018, evaluating 20 randomly selected plants from each municipality. We found 5,452 mites belonging to 13 families, distributed across 29 genera and 42 species, or belonging to the suborder Oribatida. Higher mite richness was observed on Cc (12 species) and higher abundance on Cd (2,812 specimens), Cc (868) and Bi (799). Among the predatory mite families, Stigmaeidae had the highest abundance (896 specimens), followed by Phytoseiidae (746). The most abundant species observed were Euseius mesembrinus (Dean), Agistemus riograndensis Johann & Ferla, Tydeus californicus (Banks), Polyphagotarsonemus latus (Banks) and Tarsonemus sp. This is the first study in southern Brazil that evaluates and reports the mite fauna and its ecology on American grape varieties, with high abundance and frequency of predatory mites. This work is important to assist in implementing management techniques that promote the maintenance of predatory mite species in these vineyards.","PeriodicalId":51306,"journal":{"name":"Systematic and Applied Acarology","volume":"28 1","pages":"985 - 994"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46722004","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The data were analyzed based on a two-sex life table procedure. Increasing the sublethal concentration did have a significant effect on some life table parameters. The total lifespan of both males and females treated mites had a decreasing trend, for the females, it increased from 22.10 days in LC25 treatment to 42.67 days in control. The oviposition days of the predatory mite had the most differences between the LC15 and LC25 treatments compared to LC5 and control. Based on our results, the total fecundity is also affected by the acaricidal doses, which changed from 19.10 eggs per individual in LC25 to 37.17 eggs per individual in control. The net reproductive rate (R0), as well as the gross reproductive rate (GRR), were all significantly reduced with increasing the acaricide concentration. The control treatment had the maximum value, and the higher concentration treatment (LC25) had the slowest value of R0 and GRR. On the contrary, the intrinsic rate of increase (r) and finite rate of increase (λ) showed no significant differences with the increasing concentration of acaricide from the control to LC25 treatments.

The results showed that the functional response of N. barkeri treated with Ahy1 strain to T. urticae was Holling type II equation.

The predation capacity of N. barkeri on nymphs and female adults of T. urticae treated by Ahy1 strain increased with the increase of the concentration of Ahy1 strain, but that when feeding eggs had no significant difference.

To mitigate the undesired impacts of high temperature environment, a high-temperature adapted strain (HTAS) of the predatory mite Neoseiulus barkeri (Hughes) was screened from a conventional strain (CS) by long-term heat acclimation (35°C) and regular heat hardenings (45°C). In this study, to investigate the molecular mechanisms of enhanced thermotolerance in HTAS N. barkeri, four mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway genes were identified from the predatory mite N. barkeri. The expression levels at different developmental stages showed four MAPK pathway genes were highest at adults and lowest at eggs or nymphs in both strains. Under 42°C high temperature stress, the expression levels of four identified MAPK pathway genes increased rapidly at a short time in both N. barkeri strains and the magnitude of expression increase in HTAS N. barkeri was even more evident. In addition, the MAPK pathway genes expression in CS N. barkeri sharply decreased following longer exposure periods at 4 h, whereas the expression in HTAS N. barkeri remained elevated after 4 h. These results suggested that MAPK signaling pathway participated in the formation of thermotolerance in predatory phytoseiid mites, which provided new insights in promoting the biological control efficiency of predatory mites under changeable environment.","PeriodicalId":51306,"journal":{"name":"Systematic and Applied Acarology","volume":"28 1","pages":"888 - 902"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42069580","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
