Direct and prey-mediated vitamin supplementation reshape predator–prey dynamics in Amblyseius swirskii (Acari: Phytoseiidae)

Marziye Jahanbazi, Arash Zibaee, Yaghoub Fathipour

Short summary

Directly feeding Amblyseius swirskii mites vitamins B, C, and E via a dry diet caused developmental failure and zero reproduction, while prey-mediated delivery via Carpoglyphus lactis or Tyrophagus putrescentiae supported stable population growth (r = 0.129-0.185 day−1).
