This review summarizes some of the important reproductive strategies in phytophagous acarine pest, Tetranychus urticae Koch 1836. It is an economically important agricultural pest with a global distribution which feeds on a wide range of host plant species throughout the world. The rapid developmental rate, high reproductive potential, and arrhenotokous parthenogenesis in T. urticae allows them to achieve damaging population levels very quickly when growth conditions are good, resulting in an equally rapid decline of host plant quality. Moreover, webbing, habitat preference on the underside of leaves, ballooning and high dispersal rate provide additional benefit to the expanding populations of two spotted spider mite, T. urticae.read more

Comparative life table analysis of Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae) on ten rose cultivars
TL;DR: Differences in mite susceptibility of tested rose cultivars here highlighted have the potential to be used for integrated pest management of T. urticae in ornamental rosa cultivations.

Botanicals Against Tetranychus urticae Koch Under Laboratory Conditions: A Survey of Alternatives for Controlling Pest Mites.
TL;DR: Many of the most studied botanical families are particularly abundant and exhibit several results at different levels and can be considered as promising elements to be included into integrated pest management for controlling T. urticae.

Physiological and molecular mechanisms underlying photoperiodism in the spider mite: comparisons with insects.
TL;DR: It is now clear that retinal photoreception through the ocelli is indispensable for the function of photoperiodism, at least in T. urticae, and the physiological basis of the Photoperiodic time measurement system is still under debate.

Economic injury level for Tetranychus urticae Koch on parthenocarpic cucumber under protected environment in north-western Indian Himalayas
TL;DR: Tetranychus urticae infestation exhibited varying levels of stunting effects on plant growth and the economic injury level determined was very low, whereas, for the infestation initiated in later part of plant growth (6 and 8-WAT), EIL of 1.25 and 3.33 mites/leaf were established.

The Masterpiece of Nature: The Evolution and Genetics of Sexuality
TL;DR: The Masterpiece of Nature examines sex as representative of the most important challenge to the modern theory of evolution and suggests that sex evolved, not as the result of normal Darwinian processes of natural selection, but through competition between populations or species as discussed by the authors.
