Abstract
AbstractThe reproductive compatibility between diapausing (DP) and nondiapausing (C) strains of the citrus red mite, Panonychus citri (M.), was determined by crossing experiments. Mating between the two strains was unrestricted, but copulation between C females and DP males was often broken off prematurely, whereas copulation in the reciprocal cross was of normal duration. Diapausing males showed a strong preference for guarding quiescent female deutonymphs of their strain prior to copulation, whereas C males did not. However, males of either strain showed no preference between adult females, resulting in only a partial, one-sided premating isolation between strains. No adult females were produced in the progeny from either interstrain cross, showing reproductive incompatibility is complete. Hatchability of the eggs from the cross between DP females and C males was significantly lower than that from the cross between C females and DP males, or from the intrastrain crosses, suggesting that even though some of the eggs in the former cross were fertilized, they died during embryonic stages. This possibility was supported by the observation that, for DP females mated with a C male, the second intrastrain mating was almost totally ineffective. Also, for C females mated with a DP male, a second intrastrain mating was often ineffective, but to a lesser extent than for DP females. When the two strains coexisted, effective mating was severely curtailed for both strains. The results explained the low proportion of females from overwintered DP eggs in a pear orchard in which the two strains coexisted the previous autumn.

Abstract
We investigated spatio-temporal genetic variation in allele frequency and estimated gene flow among sympatric populations of Tetranychus kanzawai on different host plants by the use of microsatellite markers. In the analysis of spatial genetic variation, no isolation by distance was detected among the populations. Gene flow between populations on Hydrangea macrophylla and those on other host plants was relatively restricted, whereas the populations on Akebia quinata and Clerodendrum trichotomum were almost panmictic. Our study on temporal genetic variation showed (1) that population differentiation was slightly reduced during the period from April to May owing to frequent gene flow among populations; and (2) that population differentiation was greatly enhanced from May to October because of bottleneck effects. Genetic differentiation among T. kanzawai populations was caused by the effect of host plants rather than by the effect of geographic distance among populations, suggesting possibility of sympatric host race formation in this species.

Abstract
When a predatory mite, Amblyseius womersleyi is present, Tetranychus kanzawai takes refuge on its webs during a quiescent stage. To examine the factors responsible for the antipredator behavior of T. kanzawai, we exposed T. kanzawai to the odor of conspecifics, A. womersleyi, and both T. kanzawai and A. womersleyi. The proportion of T. kanzawai females that took refuge was significantly higher when they were exposed to the odor of 'both T. kanzawai and A. womersleyi.' Furthermore, the proportion of T. kanzawai females that took refuge was significantly higher when they were exposed to injured conspecifics than to intact conspecifics. These results suggest that T. kanzawai assesses predation risk, at least in part, by using the odor of injured conspecifics.

Abstract
We isolated and characterized seven microsatellite markers in Tetranychus kanzawai (Acari: Tetranychidae). We also examined the conformity of the isolated markers to Mendelian laws and analyzed linkage among the microsatellite loci. All microsatellite markers fit expected 1:1 disomic segregation ratio and hence were inherited in a Mendelian manner. Significant pairwise linkage was detected in three pairs of microsatellite loci. These isolated microsatellite markers may become a powerful tool for the study of behavioral ecology, population genetics, and genome mapping of T. kanzawai.

Abstract
The spider mite Tetranychus urticae shows variation in its dispersal capacity (i.e., the leaf quality at which a female decides to disperse). We were able to artificially select mites that had either a high or a low dispersal capacity, indicating that this trait was genetically controlled. We then compared correlated responses to this selection. Mites with a genetically high dispersal capacity ('HD' strains) had a higher diapause incidence and a lower performance compared to mites with a low dispersal capacity ('LD' strains). A possible effect of random genetic drift during the selection was negligible. Our results suggest that differential dispersal capacity is associated with contrasting life history patterns as a result of natural selection.

Abstract
In two adjacent Japanese pear orchards (orchards I and 2), we studied the seasonal occurrence of the Kanzawa spider mite. Tetranychus kanzawai, and its predators. Also the response of these predators to the volatiles from kidney bean plants infested with T kanzawai was investigated using trap boxes in orchard 1. The mite density in orchard 1 was unimodal. with one peak at the end of August. In this orchard, population development of the specialist insect predators, Scolothrips takahashii, Oligota kashmiria benefica and Stethorus japonicus was almost synchronized with that of the spider mites. These predators disappeared when the density of their prey became very low in mid-September. Both S. takahashii and O. kashmirica benefica abruptly increased in number in orchard 2 when the spider mite population in orchard 1 decreased. These results suggested that some of the predators migrated from orchard 1 to orchard 2. In this period, predator-traps with T kanzawai-infested bean plants attracted significantly more S. takahashii than traps with uninfested plants. Very few individuals of S. japonicus and O. kashimirica benefica were found in the traps, despite their abundance in orchard 1. The generalist insect predator, Orius sp., was attracted to the traps throughout the experimental period irrespective of the density of spider mites, although this predator was never observed inside the orchards.

Abstract
We studied the response of the predatory mite Amblyseius womersleyi collected in 13 different sites in Japan toward Terranychus urticae-infested kidney bean leaf volatiles in a Y-tube olfactometer. The predatory mites were collected from eight plant species infested by one of three tetranychid mite species. The predators' responses to the infested-leaf volatiles varied from 33% to 97% among the populations. The predators collected at 10 sites showed a significant preference for infested-leaf volatiles, whereas those collected at three tea plantations did not distinguish between the infested- and uninfested-leaf volatiles. We discussed the possible factors that affected the olfactory response of A. womersleyi towards the infested leaf volatiles.

Abstract
We examined sib-mated lines of the phytophagous mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch, for trade-offs in performance on different plants. We found no significant trade-offs among 10 potential host plants examined. Trade-offs in performance were not detected in most cases, even when the variations in general performance (mean performance on all potential host plants) among the sib-mated lines were statistically adjusted, denying the possibility that this may be due to the variations in general performance among the lines. No evidence for trade-offs was obtained in an artificial selection experiment; on all tested plants, a line adapted to one marginal host plant exhibited higher performance than the control line. However, the general performance seemed to be negatively correlated with other adaptive traits of the mite, such as competition ability of adult males for their mates and overcrowding response of adult females. Such correlations may contribute to the maintenance of genetic variation in the general performance of T. urticae.

Abstract
Two types are known in the Kanzawa spider mite, Tetranychus kanzawai (K and T; see Gotoh et al., 1999), which differ in host range and have a unidirectional incompatibility. Prior to DNA analyzes, crossing between females of a known K type and males of each of 17 strains collected in Japan showed that six of the strains were of the K type, live were the T type and the rest consisted of a mixture of the two types. In order to elucidate the genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationship of T kanzawai in Japan, we analyzed the DNA sequences of two regions--the internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1) of the nuclear ribosomal DNA (rDNA) and a fragment of the cytochrome oxidase subunit I gene (COI) of mitochondrial DNA - using 11 strains (six K-type strains and five T-type strains). Base substitutions were detected on 25 sites of COI (375bp) and 19 sites of ITS1 (486bp), resulting in eight and 17 haplotypes, respectively. The phylogenetic trees constructed using the DNA sequences failed to clearly distinguish between the two types. The results suggested that the T type was derived from the K type.

Abstract
Spider mite biology and control in Japan were reviewed. Seventy-eight spider mite species of 16 genera (Family Tetranychidae) have been recorded in Japan. Several of the species recently described were separated from a species complex comprising strains with different ecological performance such as host range. These separations were first supported by crossing experiments and then confirmed by molecular genetic studies. Spider mite control in Japan is still dependent on heavy acaricide spraying in order to attain products of extremely high quality. The commercial use of natural enemies in spider mite management has just started.

Abstract
We studied the induced response of tomato plants to the green strain and the red strain of the spider mite Tetranychus urticae. We focused on the olfactory response of the predatory mite Phytoseiulus persimilis to volatiles from T. urticae-infested tomato leaves in a Y-tube olfactometer. Tomato leaves attracted the predatory mites when slightly infested with the red strain, or moderately or heavily infested with the green strain. In contrast, neither leaves that were slightly infested with green-strain mites, nor leaves that were moderately or heavily infested with the red strain attracted the predators. We discuss the specific defensive responses of tomato plants to each of the two strains.

Abstract
By analyzing the volatiles from Tetranychus urticae-infested kidney bean plants (Phaseolus vulgaris) at different times for two days, we found that they were mainly produced in the light. Tetranychus urticae showed a higher oviposition rate and spent more time feeding during the day (in the light) than at night (in the dark). Infested leaves placed in the light attracted the predatory mite Amblyseius womersleyi, whereas those that were placed in the dark for at least 2 h in daytime did not. This indicates that presence or absence of light affects the production of herbivore-induced plant volatiles. Amblyseius womersleyi dispersed more frequently and consumed more T. urticae eggs during the day (in the light) than at night (in the dark), whereas their oviposition rate did not differ between day and night. Presence or absence of herbivore-induced plant volatiles in the surroundings did not affect dispersal, predation or oviposition rates of A. womersleyi. These results show that A. womersleyi's behavior coincides with the production pattern of herbivore-induced plant volatiles.
