Predicting the potential geographical distribution of a species is particularly useful for pests with strong invasive abilities. Tetranychus evansi, possibly native of South America, is a spider mite recognized as a pest of solanaceous crops. This mite is considered as an invasive species in Afri...

The need to evaluate non-target effects of classical biological control of arthropod pests has received considerable attention in recent years. We determined with repeated field surveys the changes in abundance and distribution of the phytoseiid mite fauna in cassava fields resulting from the int...

Interspecific predation and cannibalism are common types of interaction in phytoseiid predator guilds, but the extent and nature of these interactions have not been determined yet in phytoseiid guilds composed of African native and neotropical exotic phytoseiid predators found in cassava habitat ...

Consideration of possible side-effects of exotic biological control agents on their new environments is a necessary step in classical biological control programs. The evaluation of such effects usually requires the knowledge of the fauna present in those environments prior to introduction of cont...
