Abstract excerpt
The dispersal mechanism of the two-spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae) could affect predator-prey population dynamics and the spread of acaricide resistance. To investigate the propensity for spider mite migration in the field, the genetic structure of spider mite populations was studied in two apple orchards using five microsatellite markers. Adult female mites were collected from...
