摘要: The subsocial spider mite Schizotetranychus longus lives gregariously in woven nests on leaves of Sasa bamboo. Adults both sexes defend their young against the predatory Typhlodromus bambusae. effects web and female attendance this species offspring survival were evaluated a natural forest. Experimental removal females revealed that S. suffered greater mortality than control. Furthermore, made by parent had positive effect survival, possibly through preventing predators from intruding into nest. Attendance nest also an improving rate her over short period. We could not detect any function other protection at least for 5 day period experiment. has important entry pedestrian (generalist) may play role defending specialized which can intrude nests.
