Life cycle of the mite Podocinum sagax (Mesostigmata: Podocinidae) on two distinct prey: the free-living nematode Rhabditella axei (Rhabditidae) and the mite Thyreophagus cracentiseta (Astigmata: Acaridae)
This study aimed to evaluate the life cycle of Podocinum sagax (Berlese) (Mesostigmata: Podocinidae) preying upon the free-living nematode Rhabditella axei (Cobbold), or the mite Thyreophagus cracentiseta Barbosa, OConnor and Moraes, at 25 ± 2 °C, 95 ± 5% RH, and in the dark. The total immature development (egg-adult)...
