... Los ácaros pasan por un estadio de desarrollo particular conocido como hipopo. Este estadio resulta de una adaptación típica que le permite al ácaro resistir condiciones adversas como la escases de alimento, la falta de humedad o las altas temperaturas (Vitzthum 1932;Solomon 1943;Hughes 1948). Los ácaros en su estado de hipopo son también forontes y cuentan con estructuras especializadas para prenderse y permanecer durante una parte importante del ciclo vital en su hospedador de dispersión. ...
ABSTRACT
In the present research, temporary niches are defined according to the hypothesis of their biological production (Temporary Niche Construction Hypothesis). The concept of temporal niche allows us to understand the dynamics of biological communities. Temporal niches contribute evolutionarily to the coexistence, production, and maintenance of organismal diversity. Thus, the concept of temporal niche is fundamental to describe, understand and integrate phylogenetic, ontogenetic and synecological processes. To correctly use the theoretical potential of the temporal niche concept, as well as to understand the evolutionary process of its construction, I suggest it is necessary to attend to the functional (symbiotic) and temporal (phenological) relationships that are actualized and converge at the level of biological communities (synecology). For this purpose, the "standard representation" of evolution is insufficient and can lead to errors in the substantiation of the most relevant processes. It must therefore be replaced by a broader representation. I will call this new evolutionary representation "Synecological Representation". I argue that to consolidate the synecological representation it is necessary to revise fundamental philosophical concepts in biology such as continuity, persistence, causality, identity, and biological similarity considering the most relevant theoretical contributions of evolutionary biology after the New Synthesis. The result is an evolutionary representation that focuses on the processes of cooperation, coordination and synchronization deployed by biological communities. From this more holistic and global perspective, organisms structure their ecological and evolutionary dynamics through the construction of their synecological environments, modifying not only physicochemical relationships, as fundamentally happens in the traditional framework of the theory of niche construction (TNC); but, above all, modifying symbiotic and phenological relationships. In short, the proposal developed here describes a broader evolutionary dynamic than is usually considered, with three fundamental attributes: synecological, symbiotic and phenological.
Phytoseiidae is composed of essentially predatory mites most commonly found on the aerial plant parts. Presently, it is considered to contain about 2,650 valid species, divided into nearly 102 genera of three subfamilies: Amblyseiinae, Phytoseiinae and Typhlodrominae. Approximately 250 of those have been reported from Brazil. Amblyseiinae is the largest subfamily, with about 65% of the described species. This publication summarises the morphologic, taxonomic and distributional information of the Amblyseiinae reported from Brazil, in support of future research on their conservation and practical use. A total of 195 valid species of 29 genera of Amblyseiinae is listed in this publication, 121 of which were described from this country, including seven species which are most certainly incorrect reports, based on the present state of knowledge. Two new combinations are proposed: one in Amblyseius, Amblyseius malvus (Denmark & Evans), and one in Transeius, Transeius piracicabae (Denmark & Muma). Six new synonyms are proposed (Chelaseius lativentris Karg, T. piracicabae, Euseius errabundus De Leon, Typhloromalus clavicus Denmark & Muma, Typhlodromips fordycei (De Leon) and Typhlodromips mangleae De Leon, as senior synonyms of Chelaseius brazilensis Denmark & Kolodochka, Transeius gervasioi Rocha, Silva & Ferla, Euseius plaudus Denmark & Muma, Typhlodromalus simus Denmark & Muma, Typhlodromips igapo Nuvoloni, Lofego, Rezende & Feres and Typhlodromips pederosus El-Banhawy, respectively). A key is provided to help in the separation of the species reported. So far, the most diverse genera in Brazil (followed by the number of species reported) are: Amblyseius Berlese (48), Neoseiulus Hughes (23), Typhlodromips De Leon (22), Iphiseiodes De Leon (14), Amblydromalus Chant & McMurtry (13) and Euseius Wainstein (12). The highest number of species is reported from the southeastern region (119 species), followed by the northeastern (82), the northern (68), the southern (65) and the midwestern (52). The states with highest numbers of registered species are São Paulo (109), Bahia (70), Rio Grande do Sul (62), Amazonas (47), Pernambuco (44) and Minas Gerais (43), while those with lowest numbers are Rio Grande do Norte (16), Sergipe (12), Pará (12), Rondônia (7) and Amapá (5). At least in part, those differences might be related to the dedicated searching effort.

In this article, we present six species of predatory mites from the family Phytoseiidae, which are included in the list of indigenous organisms for biological control in Slovenia. These species are Amblyseius andersoni, Neoseiulus californicus, N. barkeri, N. cucumeris, Euseius gallicus, and Typhlodromus pyri. Being included in the list mentioned above, these species have great potential to be used in biological control and are technically qualified sources for the management of several pest species in agricultural production in Slovenia. Detailed information about the feeding habits, food preferences, and biological control potentials of these species is presented herein.
A faunistic study was carried out for identification of predatory mites associated with injurious eriophyid mites of privet bushes in Guilan province, Northern Iran during 2023. In total six predatory mite's species belonging to two families, Phytoseiidae and Stigmaeidae were collected and identified. The predatory mite Agistemus duzgunesae Koç, Çobanoğlu & Madanlar is reported for first time from Iran. Collection information and dominances (%) of identified predatory mite's species are provided.
Several phytoseiid species are excellent biological control agents for suppressing mite pest populations in many crops and preventing yield losses. This paper aims to improve the knowledge of Phytoseiidae diversity in citrus orchards and argan forest in central western Morocco. The surveys were conducted between April and October during three successive years (2017–2019), in nine conventional citrus orchards covering an area of more than 3,000 hectares and on uncultivated plants in argan forest at an altitude ranging from 150 to 700 meters. Twenty-nine species belonging to 15 genera were found, seven of them being new for the Moroccan fauna: Amblyseius largoensis, A. swirskii, Amblyseiella setosa, Euseius batus, E. dossei, Paragigagnathus molestus, and Cydnoseius negevi. Species of nine genera were found on citrus leaves: Neoseiulus, Amblyseius, Amblyseiella, Transeius, Phytoseiulus, Euseius, Phytoseius, Typhlodromus, and Paraseiulus. Stah AlMadina (24.8%), Ouled Abdellah (15.9%), Nour (14.3%) domains contained a high number (more than 60.2%) of individuals in the collected samples. Malva parviflora, Convolvulus althaeoides, Solanum nigrum, Bryonia dioica, Withania somnifera would be interesting companion plants to be associated in the inter-rows in citrus orchards in this region to ensure sustainability, because they host high densities and diversities of Phytoseiidae. A key of females of all recorded Moroccan species until now is provided.
The present study reports the results of surveys carried out over a period of two years (2018 and 2020) in four provinces
of Iran: Guilan, Razavi Khorasan, Mazandaran, and Sistan and Baluchestan. Twenty-three species from eight genera
of Phytoseiidae have been collected, of which two species were newly recorded for Iran, namely: Euseius gallicus and
Proprioseiopsis lineatus. Three species, namely Neoseiulus agrestis, Amblyseius obtusus, Typhlodromus (Anthoseius)
haiastanius are new records for the Guilan Province. Neoseiulus californicus and Amblyseius swirskii are new records
for the Mazandaran Province while Typhlodromus (Anthoseius) haiastanius is a new record for the Razavi Khorasan
Province. All species collected in Sistan and Baluchestan are new records for this province. The worldwide distribution
and plant hosts of all collected phytoseiids during this study are provided
Three species of the family Phytoseiidae (Acari: Mesostigmata), Amblydromalus limonicus (Garman and McGregor), Neoseiulus fauveli (Athias-Henriot), and Typhlodromips sessor (De Leon), are reported for the first time from Turkey. The newly recorded species are redescribed and illustrated based on material collected from poplar trees, Populus spp. (Salicaceae), in Samsun Province on the Black Sea coast. Amblydromalus limonicus and T. sessor are mainly known from the Americas and are unexpected findings on poplar trees, as well as in the Turkish fauna. The third species, Neoseiulus fauveli, is known only from its original description from France. However, important morphological features, including dorsal setae lengths, cheliceral dentition, measurements, and the shape of macrosetae on legs, that are currently used to discriminate phytoseiid species, were missing in its original description. The presence of N. fauveli on Populus nigra L. in the present study is not surprising as many other species in the desertus species group of the genus Neoseiulus have been reported from species of Populus.
Surveillance on predatory mite fauna belonging to the family Phytoseiidae, covering three North Indian states Punjab, Himachal Pradesh and Rajasthan during 2019–2021 recorded 14 species under seven genera namely, Amblyseius sp. nr. brachycalyx, Amblyseius largoensis, Euseius alstoniae, Euseius astrictus, Euseius ovalis, Euseius sajnekhalicus, Neoseiulus barkeri, Neoseiulus imbricatus, Neoseiulus longispinosus, Paraphytoseius orientalis, Typhlodromips syzygii, Phytoseius jujuba, Phytoseius kapuri and Typhlodromus (Anthoseius) sp. Among them 7 species viz. A. sp. nr. brachycalyx, E. astrictus, E. sajnekhalicus, N. barkeri, N. imbricatus, T. syzygii and P. jujube were newly recorded from this region. Euseius sajnekhalicus has been found to be the most dominant species among the phytoseiid mites followed by E. alstoniae and E. astrictus. The genus Typhlodromips was recorded for the first time from north India.
Several surveys were conducted between 2010 and 2012 in the Brazilian range Serra do Espinhaço, a highly biodiverse region extending more than 1000 km in the states of Bahia and Minas Gerais. We report in this paper eight species of the genus Neoseiulus Hughes collected on natural, non-cultivated, vegetation. Two of these species are described, illustrated and proposed as new taxa, N. cipoensis sp. nov. and N. diamantinus sp. nov. New morphological information as well as host-plants and geographical distribution are provided for six additional species, N. benjamini (Schicha), N. californicus (McGregor), N. goiano Demite, Cavalcante & Lofego, N. idaeus Denmark & Muma, N. melinis Lofego & Moraes, and N. tunus (De Leon).
