The Effect of Light Cycles on the Predation Characteristics of <i>Phytoseiulus persimilis</i> (Acari: Phytoseiidae) Feeding on <i>Tetranychus urticae</i> (Acari: Tetranychidae)
Environmental factors, such as the duration of daylight, can significantly influence the predation ability of arthropod predators. This study aimed to examine the influence of photoperiods of 8:16 h, 12:12 h, and 16:8 h (L:D) on the predation rate of <i>Phytoseiulus persimilis</i> preyin...
