Neoseiulus baraki Athias-Henriot (Phytoseiidae) is one of the few predators associated with the coconut mite Aceria guerreronis Keifer (Eriophyidae), the most damaging pest of coconut fruits in the Americas, Africa and more recently in Oman, Sri Lanka and parts of India. As Brazil is presently co...

Comparative demography and diet breadth of Brazilian and African populations of the predatory mite Neoseiulus baraki, a candidate for biological control of coconut mite
Neoseiulus baraki Athias-Henriot (Acari: Phytoseiidae) has been reported from the Americas, Africa and Asia, often in association with Aceria guerreronis Keifer (Acari: Eriophyidae), one of the most important pests of coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) in different parts of the world. That phytoseiid ha...
Predators face the challenge of accessing prey that live in sheltered habitats. The coconut mite Aceriaguerreronis Keifer (Acari: Eriophyidae) lives hidden beneath the perianth, which is appressed to the coconut fruit surface, where they feed on the meristematic tissue. Its natural enemy, the pre...

Size of predatory mites and refuge entrance determine success of biological control of the coconut mite
Neoseiulus neobaraki and N. paspalivorus are amongst the most common phytoseiid predators of coconut mite, Aceria guerreronis, found in the spatial niche beneath coconut fruit bracts. Both predators may occur on the same coconut palms in Benin and Tanzania and are therefore likely to interact wit...

Studies on intraguild interactions between phytoseiid species have shown that intraguild predation occurs and is most commonly manifested as adult females of one species feeding on juveniles of another. Whether such intraguild interactions can also occur between adult females of one species and a...
