| Abstract | ||
| A laboratory study revealed that the high intensity of light retarded the development of the immature stages of the predatory stlgmaeid mite, Agislemus exsertus Gonzalez. Additionally. the predatory adults showed a high photoperiodic response. Adult longevity correlated negatively with increasing light intensity or photoperiod. Moreover, reproduction and predation capacity of females were negatively responded to photoperiod and light intensity. | ||
