Biological parameters, prey consumption and prey conversion into egg biomass of overwintered females of the phytoseiids Kampimodromus aberrans, Amblyseius andersoni and Typhlodromus pyri fed with varying numbers of Eotetranychus carpini females or pollen were studied in the laboratory. We found that pollen and E. carpini females proved to be optimal foods for overwintered phytoseiids. In most comparisons...
The consumption rate of an ectothermic predator is highly temperature-dependent and is a key driver of pest-predator population interactions. Not only average daily temperature, but also diurnal temperature variations may affect prey consumption and life history traits of ectotherms. In the present study, we evaluated the impact of temperature alternations on body size, predation capacity and oviposition...
